Alright, welcome to Spivy Mountain.....well, not here, the fourth photo was taken on Spivy Mountain, I just added these because for the color in the sky and for the beauty.
Ah, here you go. Welcome to Spivy Mountain. This is what I call the second top or the first preview of the peak's real view. By that I mean this. Where I am standing now, there is a large opening, this part of the mountain is just high enough to see the surrounding mountains, but its only a preview, the real view, as I called it, is at the top of the mountain, however, the top is no longer accessible to people any more, however, if you type in "Spivy Mountain", you'll get a video of the top's "real view." Spivy is actually owned by a man who lives in Charlotte South Carolina, he had a crew remove a good portion of trees off the top of the mountain for himself, you see he gets into a helicopter and lands on that cleared area. He does this once every year as a means to take a break, he's a business man. Now, you might be wondering, how high is Spivy? Spivy is about 3,294 feet, located in West Asheville, North Carolina. If you want to Google map it just type in, Spivy Mountain Road.
Bikers challenge this road in the summer time. Its VERY steep and hard to get up. I've biked it many times, but even at that I have to take three to four breaks. For a professional biker, he could do it in 20 to 30 minuets. for people like me, it would take around 45 minuets to an hour, but the view is well worth the work.
This is the "preview" as I called it.
