IL you are a climber in search of Mount Mitch
ELL which is Gill feet, and the highest eleva-
ton east of the Mississippi, you will drop off
the train with your rucksack at Graphiteyille
before Asheville is reached If it is in June
the mountains will be richly covered with rose
purple rhododendrons, followed by flaming
scarlet and orange azaleas, with great areas
of white and pink mountain laurel. At first
one must climb steep spur of the Blue Ridge
and then, turning to the left, traverse the
peaks of the Black Mountains until Mount
Mitchell is reached. Some years ago a mag
nificent forest covered these Slopes but it was
largely destroyed and burned over by destruc-
tive numbering. The view from the summit of
Mitchell is not of rocky peaks, but is dreamy
blue sea of flowing forest curves. In cross
country work one encounters innumerable
ridges, separated by deep and narrow ravines.
where he may easily become entangled in al
most impenetrable rhododendron and laurel
thickets that are ten to twenty feet high. The
return from Mount Mitchell may be by way
of Montreal and Black Mountain, where the
railway is reioined. A logging railway, which
runs from Black Mountain to Mount Mitchell.
now takes passengers nearly to the summit of
the mountain.
Among other clubs which have local walks
around New York is the Tramp and Trail

ten or twelve miles are attended by hen and
women. The Inkowa Club, of l2 West Fortie.s
