The Black Mountains are the highest mountain range in the Eastern United States. Mount Mitchell, the range’s highest peak of nearly 7,000′ is the highest point this side of the country. With 15 peaks over 6,300′ above sea level, the Black Mountains are just a kick ass ear-popping place to be. Apollo couldn’t wait to show Thunderlips just how much the Black Mountains rule.
Since the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed indefinitely beyond Craggy Gardens, folks traveling from Asheville must access the Parkway either from Highway 80, or Highway 221 near the Linville Falls Community. Kind of a pain in the ass, but worth it nonetheless. Apollo sure doesn’t mind the detour.
Thunderlips happier n' shit to be up on the Blue Ridge Parkway near the Black Mountains.
The afternoon sunlight on the Blue Ridge Parkway through these parts is divine.
You know what they say... the size of your shadow gives hints to the size of other things...

Apollo owns the Sun.
Apollo and Thunderlips struggle to discern Mount Mitchell from the overwhelming glare.
Apollo gets frustrated as hell from the stupid ass confusing signs to Marion at this intersection in Little Switzerland. Come on people...
