Oct 2 2010 Pinnacle Hike


Here we are gathered for another hike up heartbreak Ridge to the top of Pinnacle. It is a lovely autumn day without a cloud.


The Old Toll Road we hike on for short distance, was open to vehicles this Saturday. It is the only day of the year the road is open. Traffic, consisting of 4 wheel drive cars and trucks, travel in one direction along the road. Originally the road was the only option to get to Mt Mitchell.


Lunch is on the rocks of Pinnacle. Views are just spectacular here. Every seat was the best seat in the house.



This is the view toward Mt Mitchell. The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders nearby too.
