May 30 Flat Top Mountain


This is a short hike on the carriage trails in the Cone Manor area. To the top of Flat Top Mountain and back it is a bit over 5 miles. The skies were cloudy but  we managed to see some great views in all directions. At the top is a metal frame observation tower which we are standing on. You are well above the treetops here.


There were a few bushes of Flame Azalea and some Catabwa Rhododendron. Other than that, a keen eye could spot some Bowman's Root, Fire Pink, Virginia Waterleaf, Spiderwort, Smooth Solomon's Seal, False Solomon's Seal and various other flowers.
