From the wvexp.com website, we learn: "Powell Mountain, in northern Nicholas County, in central West Virginia, rises to 2,417 feet along U.S. Route 19 north of Summersville, West Virginia. The mountain forms the divide between the drainages of the Gauley River, to the south, and the Elk River to the north."
I did a double check on my GPSr, but that is not a transposition error the measured elevation. Took a couple of readings to confirm. (subsequent note: recalibrated my GPSr using Army Corps benchmark, which did confirm it was off. So what did you read for your visit?)
