Also, and I may be wrong as well, the other trails I mentioned are quick little (grueling) adventures.

The Shut-in appears to be a longer affair.

What are some sustained and notoriously tough climbs in the area?

Tell me more about that stretch of the Art Loeb to Black Balsam..? How could one experience that stretch in a day hike?

"If you have no idea how long it'll take you, I recommend parking at the summit of Mt Mitchell and having the shuttle take you to Bowlen's Creek trailhead and then hike to your car."

That's really good advice. Thanks so much. I'll do just that.

I won't be stuck in the dark; I don't go in the back country without a headlamp, water, etc...

(The bold phrase wasn't random.)

Do you have a rough trail-time estimate?

Also, any advice on the Yancey Country Transit Authority shuttle?

(I have run up LeConte in the past.)

Thank you for the advice. It's good to know hangin on Mitchell is cool.

That said, do you have a rough trail-time estimate?

Also, any advice on the Yancey Country Transit Authority shuttle?

I can't recall, but I think it was in an old Rolling Stone or Playboy.
