Sept 14 Cooks Wall to Moore's Knob


When you live in the piedmont area of North Carolina, there are not many places you can visit which offer great views, a high spot to catch a breeze or hike in rugged terrain. Hanging Rock, merely an hour from Greensboro offers all that. Today, we hiked a short 10 mile loop incorporating Wolf Rock, House Rock, Cooks Wall and Moores Knob. There are nice views south and west at these spots. 


We encountered a long, four to five foot Black Snake, a Northern Water Snake, and a Black Racer but little other wildlife.
