Appalachian Summits, also referred to as Ashland-Lineville to Frederick, is a Bush Trip in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). This bush trip is flown in the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and consists of 13 legs over a distance of 811 nm with an estimated cruise time of 4 hours and 51 minutes.
| “ | One of the most renowned, and far-reaching, regions of the United States, the Appalachian Mountains are notable for the individual forms within the chain of peaks and also for the history that they helped to forge. One of the oldest mountain systems in the United States at 480 million years in age, the Appalachians are physically subdued compared to younger American ranges like the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies, but they are nevertheless awe-inspiring, and in some cases imposing, and even evocative. Appalachian Summits explores this chain of peaks through an itinerary anchored by the high points of a number of Appalachian States. Beginning in the southern reaches of the mountain range, this journey visits Alabama's Cheaha Mountain, Georgia's Brasstown Bald, Tennessee's Clingmans Dome, North Carolina's Mount Mitchell (the highest point in the Appalachians), Virginia's Mount Rogers, Kentucky's Black Mountain, West Virginia's Spruce Knob, Maryland's Hoye-Crest, and Pennsylvania's Mount Davis. The flight also visits areas around these high points, landmarks both well-known and also less travelled. |
