The trail to Cloud Peak is mostly an easy slight incline for the 6 miles. The last 1/4 mile is steep and almost seems vertical as you go up a bowl. You cross the crest of the bowl at 10,200 ft and the view is spectacular! I'm 84 now and I not sure I could do the hike again. Even in late summer, I don't think you would want to go into the lake.
Near Asheville is a YMCA camp. The National Wildlife Federation would have a week long education program there. My family went there several times. The Program was called Summit Camps.

@rollingf Asheville and that area is beautiful. The Appalachian mountains are so old that they feel almost alive...maybe they are. I worked for a YMCA camp at 21 for the summer. It was in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains, near Maryville, TN.

I miss being able to hike.
