HikeWNC Trail Details: Summit

Description

This easy leg stretcher leads from the summit parking area to the circular observation platform at the summit itself. It is a paved path through a decimated fir forest; nearly all the large firs are dead but new ones are sprouting everywhere to take their place. The platform provides spectacular views from the highest point east of the Mississippi river. The summit is now accessible.
