Description: Please join me at the Pilot Mountain visitor center at 8:30 a.m. for an out and back on the Grindstone Trail. We will hike the Grindstone Trail going counterclockwise to the base of the summit and connect back to the Grindstone via the Ledge Springs Trail. This trail is perfect if you are looking for a peaceful walk through nature and obviously will include some elevation gain on the front end. We will plan for a snack at the picnic tables at the summit base before completing our return back. Poles might be helpful on the Ledge Springs portion.
Required Gear: Hiking poles suggested
