I contacted Mt Mitchell State Park and was told that the actual summit is inaccesaible due to construction of the new summit tower (due to be completed Labor Day ’07). The highest point that can be reached is the summit parking area. If you have been to Mt Mitchell recently (spring 07) please let me know if you were able to get to the top. Thanks

Rein,

I met a family from WI on Brasstown Bald, GA on April 7, 2007 that said they had been to Mt. Mitchell the prior day and had to “sneak” to the summit.

Hope this helps!

It is possible though you do have to climb around the gate blocking the pathway. It is quite difficult to find the actual highest point though as there is a bunch of construction materials there. After the drive up through the fog it was definitely worth it even though I couldn’t see a thing.

Yeah, but you gotta dodge the rangers. I didn’t say that.
