We joined the CMC for a trip up to Mt. Mitchell. This is the second time we've been up here in a week! This is a slightly different route then we did earlier. Make sure to stop by the ranger station for a paper map. The scale is much nicer than the National Geographic map. My favorite part of the hike was the Commissary Trail. The rhododendrons there were amazing, and there's a really nice mountain view on that trail. Part of our hike today was on the Mountains to Sea Trail. On the way home, cars were stopped both ways on the Blue Ridge Parkway. That can only mean one thing. A bear on the side of the road :)
