>>2724996>Check out Grandfather Mountaina) costs money (don't really care THAT much but still)
b) very limited open hours
I really hate supporting places that gate you in if you aren't back by a certain time it ruins the vibe of the hike

>Same for Mount Mitchellran out of time for that and it was too far away, BUT, I did get to see it from a distance at Blowing Rock which was super cool. And I'm pretty sure you can see Mt Rogers from where these pictures were taken from, Big Pinnacle up at Grayson Highlands north of Roan Highlands. I will certainly revisit Roan Highlands in warmer weather.
