| THalky | One of my favorite views  Date Climbed: May 28, 2012 | |
| This was great. If you have a family and want a hike, but don't want to do Mitchell from bottom to top, this is a nice diversion. You lose elevation then gain it back in both directions, so keep that in mind for the little ones. | |

| Summited Mitchell and walked over to bag this too. Weather was good so I recall, unlike 364 days later when I did Mitchell again in pouring rain. Great views. | |

| 2nd birthday in a row spent here on the East Coast hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. Did this one with Mt. Mitchell, Big Tom, and others along the Deep Gap trail. A little chilly, and windy, but a beautiful day nonetheless. | |

| Drove to the top of Mitchell with "the old folks" and my brother. Frost in the trees made an awesome scenery. Hiked to Mt. Craig and Big Tom and back. | |

| Climbed from the Deep Gap Trailhead near Mt. Mitchell. The trail was muddy with plenty of slick rocks due to all the recent rain. We had partially clear skies to Mt. Craig and then the low lying clouds took over so we decided to shorten our day and stopped shortly after Balsam Cone. | |

| argothor | hiked after Mitchell Date Climbed: May 31, 2010 | |
| Hiked the 1.4 miles along the ridge line that separates Mitchell from Craig. Beautiful hike through the spruce woods. Pretty easy "strenuous" hike. It had been quite cloudy, but the clouds lifted so we had some nice views. | |
