Black Mountain Crest Trail | 2021
Channel: Seagrass to Sassafras
Date: 21/11/2021

There's the easy way to get to Mount Mitchell, the hard way, and then there's the Black Mountain Crest. A 12 mile trek across 10 peaks over 6,000 ft in elevation with the HIGHEST one this side of the Mississippi as the reward. You can probably guess which way I chose...

Check out the itinerary I put together from this trip! Route details, resources I used to plan the trip, campsite and water source descriptions, elevation profiles, info for local shuttle providers, and MORE all in one neatly organized PDF. (While it isn’t a substitute for doing your own research and preparation, hopefully it will take the guess work out of planning your own trip.) seagrasstosassafras.com/product-page/bmc-itinerary

Side Note: Although the trail doesn't go directly over the summit of all 10 peaks, it comes close. I did my best to label about where the trail passes by each peak or the scramble trails up to the true summits. There was also a lot of conflicting information about the exact height of some of the peaks. So once again, I did my best to label accurately.
