What is the tallest mountain on the East Coast?
Mount Mitchell is the highest peak in the state, and at 6,684 feet, it is also the tallest mountain in the eastern United States.
In 1787, Elijah Mitchell, a science professor at the University of North Carolina and head of the North Carolina Geologic Survey, set out to prove just that Mt. Mitchell was the tallest in 1835, using bear trails, a mountain guide named Big Tom, a barometer, and mathematical formulas.
After several expeditions, Mitchell calculated the elevation of the range's highest peak at 6,672 feet, only 12 feet below its true height. When his former student and then-U.S. Senator Thomas Clingman disputed his claim in the 1850s, the elderly Mitchell returned to verify his measurements.
