Getting there is more of the fun...once you reach the summit, how long can you just look at thousands of mountains in the distance? They are fortunately labeled well now on photographic dioramas facing each direction.
Looking down at the road we came up...
Our 2 Barbaras selfie from the top of Mt. Mitchell.
On Thursday there wasn't a big crowd, and each person took turns taking photos...everyone was very polite about that.
We were glad we'd brought our sandwiches, guacamole and chips, and ate in a picnic shelter. But none of the water fountains were available to fill our water jugs. (They did sell water at the concession, I wonder if that had anything to do with the fountains being turned off.)
