| MollyL | Had to "sneak" up  Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2007 | |
| Went up the Mt. Mitchell trail - which was actually a pretty cool hike! Super foggy and humid, and the last part of the trail was closed off for construction. Had to get the highpoint, so we snuck around...quick ran up to the top...took some pictures and got out of there!! Had a blast - pretty area! | |

| Came southbound on the Mountain to Sea Trail to find the last .3 miles closed off. Hiked around to the parking lot on the nature trail and found it closed from that side too. Well, I had come too far not to see the summit so I went around the gate with another like minded individual and made it to the top. | |

| Peak 1 of 6 in Southern Sixer Six Pack following Brasstown Bald, Union Cty (GA) HP and Wolfpen Ridge. I ignored the "No Trespassing" signs to the summit - guilty as charged. Didn't want to be denied my 10th HP. Check out my trip report. Must say this was and still is my only 9 Peak/HP day. | |

| Shawna | Mount Mitchell - July 2004 | |
| Hiked Mt Mitchell with a friend when I first moved to NC. If I remember correctly, we took the Mt Mitchell Trail. It started out as a cloudy day and quickly turned into a very rainy day and poured on us most of the way...still a fun hike though. | |

| Thomas Beasley | New Mitchell Trail Date Climbed: Oct 26, 2006 | |
| Hiked the New Mitchell Trail, to the summit area which was closed due to construction and renovations. Bushwacked a little bit and snuck to the summit while evading the construction people and park rangers. All in all it was a nice hike. | |

| woodstrider | A short hike in the woods Date Climbed: Jun 6, 1998 | |
| My friend bob and I did a much shortened hike from the one that we originally planned to do as it was a rather wet day. What is an unmitagated peak bagger to do? Hike less, drink more hot chocolate. | |

| BMS | Mt. Mitchell Summit Closed Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2006 | |
| The summit and lookout is closed for about a year due to reconstruction to remove the old concrete tower and to make the summit handicap accessible. You can still hike to the parking lot which is about 50'- 100' below the actual summit. I was told everything would reopen around July 4, 2007. The hike from Black Mountain Campground is open and is diverted to the parking lot just shy of the top. The sign at the start of the trail in Black Mountain Campground says "closed 5 miles ahead" which is a bit misleading because you are able to take the detour over to the parking lot. | ||
