About the Book

Home to the highest terrain in the eastern half of North America, North Carolina not only contains the highest summit on this side of the continent, Mt. Mitchell (6,684'), it shares a list of 40 peaks exceeding 6,000' in elevation with neighboring Tennessee. Although these mountains exceed in height the entire surface of the eastern half of the United States, many of the peaks are shrouded in majestic Canadian pine forests, with views curiously lacking. An avid hiker and high altitude enthusiast, the author found that hiking the high terrain wasn't enough; he wanted to see it from above. Author of a book doing the same for the 58 peaks over 14,000 feet in Colorado, Garrett Fisher took his high flying expertise and brought it to the Southeast, showing the stunning beauty of the Appalachians from above them, all using a 1949 Piper PA-11 antique airplane. Containing detailed maps and 80 images, the book contains images of every single peak over 6,000' and is both a guide for mountain enthusiasts and a pleasant journey among giants for everyone else.
About the Author: An all around maniac, Garrett Fisher is an adventure pilot, aerial photographer, author, and top it all off, an economics enthusiast. With an insatiable thirst for adventure, he has lived on the Pacific Coast in Ecuador, near 10,000 feet in the Rockies, on an Atlantic Ocean barrier island with no roads, and now in a pilot community in remote Wyoming near Yellowstone. An author of 8 books, he is currently involved in writing more books than he can count including a novel, another economics manifesto, and a slew of aerial photography works of treasured places in the American West. He can be found with his MacBook sitting next to a freezing cold mountain stream, wandering the sky in his poorly heated antique airplane, hiding above timberline, or lost in the woods.
