The summit is located just outside the parking lot. It is a steep hill to the top where you can overlook the valley (unless it’s super foggy)

Mount Mitchell is the tallest mountain in the United States east of the Mississippi River. The peak sits at 6,684 feet and is surrounded by hiking trails, scenic driving and biking roads, picnic areas, and campgrounds. You'll likely see a lot of other visitors once you get up here to the parking lot at the summit. There is a small, seasonal concession stand, bathrooms, and a water fountain here at the top.

The Ridge Junction Overlook is situated at Milepost 355.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and is just outside of Mount Mitchell State Park. The viewpoint is nearly a mile in the sky (5,160 feet elevation) and shows off the southern ridge leading to the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi River. The viewpoint used to be a bit overgrown, but there has been recent maintenance in the area that cleared the overgrowth.

At Milepost 329.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Table Rock Overlook offers a far-away view of Table Rock Mountain (a very distinctive peak whenever it comes into view). The mountain is pretty far away (roughly nine miles east), but you can still easily make out the peak on a clear day.

This is a pretty cool tunnel that you get to ride through on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Little Switzerland Tunnel is over 500 feet long and wide enough for 2 cars to pass by each other.
