This range stretches from northeast Georgia to southern Pennsylvania, and contains the highest point east of the Mississippi River (North Carolina’s 6,684-foot Mt. Mitchell). Georgia’s highest mountain--Brasstown Bald, 4,784 feet above sea level--is located in the Blue Ridge province. Nearby, Springer Mountain (3,782 feet) marks the beginning of the Appalachian Trail, a hiker’s path traveling 2,158 miles through the Appalachian Highlands to Maine."
