My wife and I are planning a trip along Shenandoah, for our 1st anniversary, with the intent of going as far south as Asheville and up Mt. Mitchell. Her hiking ability is somewhere between beginner and intermediate. I am hoping you have some suggestions. The duration of our trip will begin Saturday and we have one week.
Our first planned stop is Luray Caverns, then possibly take Skyline drive down and check some stuff out and camp that night. Then I’d like to summit a mountain with a trail head starting along Skyline -something that is not too tough for her, but rewarding at the top. Then stay somewhere in a hotel that night. After that is really up in the air as we make our way to Mt. Mitchell.
Any suggestions will be welcomed!
Have you done Mt. Mitchell? We are under the impression that you can drive pretty high up then take a trail head from the parking lot which is good for her. Any insight?
Thank you!
