This image is from the NC high peaks web cam with a little retouch by yours truly. This image shows the west side of the Mt. Mitchell ridge with Deep Gap at center. It is possible to hike a contiguous 7miles in this area without ever dropping below 6000' elevation. (According to a ridge line trace I did using Google Earth) http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/26/9113cc525272f569b9d6cb03867b0263.jpg

I've hiked this in deep snow and below 0 temps - that's quite an experience ! Regardless the time of year it's a beautiful hike

I've lived in California, Colorado and Montana, but there's still something about the Appalachians in winter that really captivates me. In February of this year I hiked Comissary Ridge to Mt. Mitchell summit in knee deep snow (3600' elev gain) had an excellent crew to hike with. That was epic! Won the BRO Snowday photo contest- (now I'm bragging ;)

Always get the Williams and Mitchells mixed up. Related to both clans.
