Moses Cone carriage trails from the Cone Manor to the top of Flat Top Mtn. This had to be a favorite area of the Cones. Moses and his wife as well as a couple household employees are buried along this route.
We saw lots of people here as well as some horse riders. The variety of wildflowers is very nice. The meadows had Milkweed, Thistle and Tickseed sunflowers blooming. Along the wooded areas, we saw Starry campion, Woodland sunflowers, Angelica, Joe-Pye-weed, Mountain mint and Jumpseed.
The firetower on top has nice views in all directions. Grandfather Mountain is quite close and dominates the southerly view.
