There is time for one more hike in the mountains before heading home. We decide to hike to Storyteller Rock in Grandfather Mountain State Park, a spot I have not been to.
Beginning at the Boone Fork parking area on the BRP, we hike in on several trails before getting on the Nuwati Trail. This trail follows an old logging route. It may have been a railbed as we saw piles of coal in a couple spots.
Today, it was a sea of leafless trees with some large rocks poking above. One of the rocks is Storyteller.
This is Storyteller Rock. Supposedly, this was a spot where people gathered and there was a natural pulpit above on the rock from which to storytell. Or maybe that is a rural legend.
