With 2040m elevation presents the highest point in eastern US.

It is 8km one way detour from the Parkway. Road inclines are a bit higher then the Parkway but mostly just close to the top. If you are in the area, please make effort and get up. It will be your badge of honour.

There is nice restaurant half way from visitors center and top. Decent food reasonably priced.

Free wifi internet and power outlets to charge your devices.

I made it to the restaurant fully loaded. As I planed to have lunch there, I left all my panniers at the hall with all electronics charging.

Went up to the top easily, no weight, did the tour and went back for lunch.

There is the primitive camping at the top that I was hoping to use, but unfortunately was fully booked.

Enquire on line in advance if planning to stay there longer and explore many hiking opportunities.

The most fun is riding down. Pay back for slow uphill and all those cars passing you. Now you are the fastest one. Let them go ahead so you have room to bomb down. I did 65km/h, not recommended if not experienced.

Enjoy and respect. Thanks
