Mount Mitchell (North Carolina) climbers Notes

Ethan Jolles from UNITED STATES writes:

Trailhead infrastructure seems to be nonexistent. Bathrooms are closed off, Helene damage is real. Only ~3 campsites on the backroad leading to the trailhead. Forest service road with campsites is currently closed, but supposed to reopen soon. Expect minimal or no service at the trailhead. Bathrooms at the summit are closed as well.
