Visitors will meet in front of the VC at 10am to learn about the rock cycle and different types of rocks! We will then go on a hike on the Rockefeller Loop to find different types of rocks for visitors to identify using what they just learned. If there are a lot of little kids we may cut the hike in half using the fire line.
Mount Mitchell State Park is now reopened to the public.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is open up to the state park entrance but remains closed from just past Mount Mitchell through milepost 334 near Little Switzerland. Please read our blog post for the most up-to-date information on park access and trails status.
