Pilot Mountain State Park

The last several years when visiting family in North Carolina we have picniced on Pilot Mountain, rising more than 1,400 feet above the rolling countryside of the upper Piedmont plateau, offers a commanding view of the countryside. Dedicated as a National Natural Landmark in 1976, this majestic peak is the centerpiece of Pilot Mountain State Park. The drive up and down to and from the summit is very steep with lots of curves making if very enjoyable. The landscape views are wonderful especially when the hawks are drifting on the air currents in front of you. If your in the area I would suggest that you visit Pilot Mountain State Park.
