Mount Collins, Mountain summit in Great Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, US.
Mount Collins rises to 6,188 feet above sea level, featuring dense forests of spruce and fir trees across its northeastern slopes.
The mountain received its name from Robert Collins, who guided scientist Arnold Guyot through the Smokies during his 1859 elevation measurements.
The Appalachian Trail crosses Mount Collins, connecting multiple paths used by long-distance hikers exploring the Eastern United States mountain ranges.
Visitors reach the summit through Fork Ridge Trail from Clingmans Dome Road, with access limited between April and December due to weather conditions.
The Mount Collins Shelter, positioned half a mile north of the Appalachian Trail junction, provides overnight space for twelve backpackers.
