Evening Hike: Pilot Mountain - Visitor’s Center to Knob and Back

Type of Outing: Hike
Total Mileage: 7.3
Total Elevation Gain: 1486ft
Difficulty: Moderate
Pacing: Moderate

Please join me for some after-work cardio at Pilot Mountain State Park. We will meet at the Visitor’s Center and using the Grindstone trail, we will hike up to Big Pinnacle, around it and back to the cars via the same trail.

This hike offers a scenic, quiet hike through a gorgeous summer wood with steady elevation gain, making a decent workout, up to the top where we can see for miles across the Piedmont in all directions.

Please come prepared with water and salty snacks. We may potentially go for dinner at The Tilted Ladder just a few miles north of the park proper in the town of Pilot Mountain afterwards.

Hike is weather-dependent. I hike in rain but not in thunder/lightning.
