- This video is all about the Black Mountains Range in Western North Carolina. The natural mountain scenery in this video is breathtaking. Did you know that six of the of the ten highest peaks in the Eastern United States are in the Black Mountains Range in Western North Carolina? The Crest of the Black Mountains is only 15 miles long, but in that distance, 18 mountain peaks climb to at least 6,300 feet above sea level. In mountains east of the Mississippi, that’s a big deal. The Black Mountains are home to Mount Mitchell, the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains and the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Most people visit the Black Mountains while driving Blue Ridge Parkway North Carolina. The Black Mountains are in Yancey County, one of the 7 North Carolina Counties designated as “The High Country,” or “The High South.

This past sunday i drove up to the top of mount Mitchell. The view from the observation tower is spectacular.
Spruce fir forest remind me of Spruce Knob, WV. Beautiful video Bill.
Great video. I have lived in the region for all of my life (East Tennessee) and I love the scenery.
Great research! A great video!
You have a great speaking/narrator voice!
We were there in late May. A tour with my very own mountain girl wife of 6 decades, born a smidgen south in the Balsams. We were celebrating her and her heritage. It was light snow falling that day on Mitchell, and we had passed through a small ice storm on the way. That was in the Balsams where we entered the parkway that day.
That's sounds like a great moment! Thank you for sharing. Caroline and I call that entire region our home away from home. We may end up living there someday! I'm so grateful you watched, and thanks for commenting!
I remember the blizzard of 93 way just 8 at the time crazy storm got 4 feet or more here
The white mountains I think are higher on average in prominence, which I prefer.
Nice video. Keep up the good work. I'd really like to know the social issues that he was wrong about, or the way that he presented them. I live in this area, and never gets old. And the signs at Mitchell say, the trees are like they are because of acid rain. #JESUSMATTERS!!!!!
I think I placed links related to some of his beliefs in the description. Rev. Mitchell was a man of his time and region. There was a common belief being preached during period that was held by several denominations. These denominations repented and abandoned these beliefs over 100 years ago. For decades, people overlooked this part in Mitchell's life. It was seldom discussed. Recently, many have come to believe that a derogatory statement was being made by renaming the mountain "Mitchell." And I admit, that's possible. I'd rather that not be true, but I know history, and it's quite possible. So, it's not so much about Mitchell, (though it certainly doesn't help) as it is those who renamed the mountain, and what they were saying when they did so. The Park tries to focus on Mitchell's scientific achievement, which is significant. There's also a push to return these famous mountain peaks back to their original Cherokee names. These two issues are often connected. I don't really have an opinion on the matter. Isaiah 54:10
