Rich Mountain[1] is roughly 7 miles (11 km) south-southwest of Boone, in Moses H. Cone Memorial Park. Its elevation reaches 4,246 feet (1,294 m).[1] Because it's within the Blue Ridge Parkway, it is protected from development. From 1922-1985, Camp Yonahlossee (Cherokee for "Trail of the Bear") was located at the western side of the mountain, it was one of the oldest all girls camp in North Carolina; today it is a resort and club.[2][3]
