Pilot Mountain - Jomeokee Trail - 10/1/2011

Jomeokee Trail
Loop
1.0 miles
Moderate

The Jomeokee Trail at Pilot Mountain is about as easy a way to see grand geology as I have found.  The park road goes practically all the way to the top of Little Pinnacle and there are overlooks with grand vistas right at the edge of the parking lot.  Pilot Mountain stands virtually alone in the northern Piedmont of North Carolina, rising dramatically above the surrounding countryside.  Winston-Salem, Hanging Rock, and the southern Virginia mountains are easily seen from various points on this hike.
