Black Mountain Crest Trail - October 2021
There's the easy way to get to Mount Mitchell, the hard way, and then there's the Black Mountain Crest. A 12 mile trek across 10 peaks over 6,000 ft in elevation with the HIGHEST one this side of the Mississippi as the reward. You can probably guess which way I chose...
Thinking about taking this trip for yourself? Check out the itinerary I put together! For your one time support of just $3.50 you'll get access to a PDF download with route details, a list of resources I used to plan my trip, additional pictures from the trail, contact info for shuttle services in the area, and MORE all in one neatly organized document. Just a way to show my appreciation for your monetary support of this backpacking channel and blog. (While it isn’t a substitute for doing your own research and preparation, hopefully it will take the guess work out of planning your own trip.)

Side Note: Although the trail doesn't go directly over the summit of all 10 peaks, it comes close. I did my best to label about where the trail passes by each peak or the scramble trails up to the true summits. There was also a lot of conflicting information about the exact height of some of the peaks. So once again, I did my best to label accurately.
