Description: Come away with me to my cradle of humble origin! Within the embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I plan to lead a hike at Stone Mountain State Park. Our journey will begin at the summit of Stone Mountain, in the upper parking lot at 9:00 am, where we will hike our way down and into the valley, up Wolf Rock, over Cedar Rock, down Black Jack Ridge and into the thick of an old horse trail that will wind its way around to an old still. From there, we will crest back up the mountain by the park’s babbling creeks, taking time to visit each of the waterfalls going up: lower, middle and upper. I plan to hold a social hour at Angry Troll Brewery, in downtown Elkin, after the hike for a proper “trail cap” and would love for everyone to join me who can. Be prepared for a calming hike where we can take time and admire the beauty of the natural world around us. 10.2 miles, 1939 ft elev. [R-29]
