MT MITCHELL FOREST
TO Be PLAYGROUND
Great Appalachian Reserve
Thrown Open to Campers
and Vacationists.

Mt. Mitchell Forest, one OF the most
beautiful Of natures gardens in the
Eastern part of the United states. To-
Gated in the heart of the southern Ap-
palachain mountains. is to be opened to
the public for camping and recreatlonai
purposes.
To protect the superb primeval for-
csts and the vast natural water sources
the Government acquired the area or
the reserve and later determined TO
convert It into a great playground Tor
the people of the entire country. Con-
scquently. Chief Forester II. 3. Graves
has directed his department to prepare
complete maps and descriptions or the
country constituting the national PARK
which will be turned over to the South
ern railway for distribution.
In the national forest the Govern
ment will endeavor to offer to all VINO
may apply either for locations for cot
tages or sites for camps. Temporary
camp sites will be free, while the per-
mts for summer home sites Will be not
less than so. The only expense which
will attach to living in the park, will
be the cost OF subsistence.
Mt. Mitchell, from which the park
takes it's name, is S,7l1 feet high. the
loftiest peak in Eastern North America.
From the giant peak spreads pano-
rama OF surpa beauty, composed
In part OF great gorges, contrasted with
weatherbeaten cliffs. For background
there are the peaks Of the Black noun
tains. many OF them lifting their heads
more than 5000 feet into azure clouds.
From the foot of Mitchell stretches the
AsheVille plateau. maintaining an aver
age altitude OF 200 feet, to the foot
hills of the Blue Ridge.
