Oct 8 Sunset at Moore's Knob


Friends of Sauratown Mountains met following Hanging Rock State Park's 75th Anniversary festivities. On our agenda was a hike to Moore's Knob to catch the sunset. We followed the 1.6 mile trail originating at the Bath House and through the campground, up the steps. Balanced Rock is just below the summit.


We watched the sun disappear and then give way to some nice color. We could hear music emanating from the barn of a large estate far below us. 


Click on the photo below and you'll be able to see Sauratown Mountain and Pilot Mountain. They look side by side here.


The walk down was partially illuminated by the moon but we still needed flashlights to make our way.
