View from Pinnacle Knob

One of the most amazing things about where we live is that we are blessed with so many areas to hike and mountain bike and enjoy almost any outdoor activity. One such spot is atop Pinnacle knob. Hike is moderate…but, the reward at the top is unparalleled. Misty and I did this hike on Monday…about 3.6 miles total. Allow 2.5 hours. Right now, I believe we need the outdoors as much as ever.

FOR ENJOYMENT

Find a knob or mountain and hike to the top (wear a weighted vest or backpack if you have one)

DIRECTIONS TO PINNACLE KNOB TRAILHEAD: From the intersection of Rickman Drive, Savannah Street, and US Route 23/441 in Clayton, follow US Route 23/441 North for 0.8 miles. Then, turn right onto Pinnacle Drive and continue for 1.2 miles, before turning left onto unpaved Courthouse Gap Road. After 0.2 miles of driving on Courthouse Gap Road, you will reach a powerline cut. At the powerline cut, there is a small parking area on the left with space for two cars. 0.1 miles farther up Courthouse Gap Road, there is another small parking area on the left with space for around three cars, just as a "dead end" sign is nailed to a tree near the road. The Courthouse Gap trail begins on the left side of the road about 250 feet after the second parking area, but there is no parking space at all at the actual trailhead.

ENJOY THE TIME OUTSIDE. IF YOU MEET SOMEONE ON THE TRAIL, MOVE OVER AND HONOR SOCIAL DISTANCING. POST COMMENTS AND PICS.
