As the highest peak east of the Mississippi, Mitchell is great practice for billy-goat climbers—and it’s the site of the infamous, 102-mile Assault on Mt. Mitchell. Cut to the chase and try the last quarter of the route, which starts in Marion and rises 5,275 feet in about 27 miles, with steady pitches between 8 and 10 percent.
