The oldest rocks in the Appalachians are between one and two billion years in age. North Carolina’s Mount Mitchell, at 6,684 feet elevation, is the highest peak in the eastern United States, with another 50 summits exceeding 6000 feet.

Maintained by the National Park Service, the Parkway was begun in the 1930ies, during the Great Depression by the Civil Conservation Corps, with the last section finished in 1987. Gorgeous scenery, an amazing diversity of flora and fauna, cultural attractions from both pioneer and modern Appalachian life and over 100 hiking trails make this great American parkway unique.
