This strenuous trail intersects the Old Mitchell Trail 0.25 mile from the summit and descends the south side of Mount Mitchell to an area called Camp Alice, an old logging camp from the early 1900s. The railroad serving Camp Alice was torn up in the early 1920s and a road opened for vehicles. Between the 1920s and 1940s, tourists drove to Camp Alice and then hiked the remaining mile to Mount Mitchell’s summit. Today, nothing remains of Camp Alice and in spite of its name, camping is not permitted here.
