Unless I'm mistaken, the Shenandoah Mountains are not part of the Blue Ridge province, so I'm removing it from the list of mountains; and adding a few others. Pfly 21:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Grandfather Mountain has a maximum elevation of 5,964 feet. The promoters at Grandfather Mountain (which is a sort of natural theme-park) claim thier peak as the highest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the other hand, Mount Mitchell enjoys a superior elevation of 6,684 feet abouve sea level (USGS). Mount Mitchell is normally identified as a constituent of the short, high, Black Mountain Range. However, the Black Mountains are themselves a constituent of the Blue Ridge, which runs the length of Appalachia. For this reason, I'm changing the note about the highest peak in the range to reflect Mount Mitchell. eoo2 18:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
