Pinnacle Mountain Falls

Jefferson Bargeron IV

Really neat hike, after you get past the road, at least. Going off trail can get a little... dangerous. Also, it's a little unclear where is supposed to end, but I got as close to the falls (pics coming) as I safely could. -jeffiv.com

Good robust hike with a beautiful view on top as a pay off!

From Table Rock trial. This is a tremendous hike, however, it is not for everyone. (That is the reason for 4 star) That being said, once you get started on this hike you will have to triumph over many many many steps. Mileage is not too difficult, just 3.5 miles one way. But the steep ascent does make it difficult. You must be extremely cautious when the ground is wet, making many of the rocks slick. Proper footwear is a must. Hiking sticks recommended, especially since it can help with the descent with your knees as well as providing stability. You are rewarded with enchanting views of the mountains. (Technically the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains) After the shelter things stay pretty level for a bit till you get to the real meat. (Or steps into Morder as some people like to call them) At Governor Rock you get a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You have to keep going though if you want to see two more overlooks. The cost though is another stepping ascent which can be strenuous. Follow the red blazes and you will come across the second overlook to your right. It is a bit shallow with a fairly steep rock platform so don't go too close to the edge. Get back on the red blazed path and follow it to a clearing then down to a slight right. That is where you will find the fantastic view where you can see Paris Mountain, Caesar's Head, and even Greenville city on a clear day.

Table Rock trail. Strenuous 7.2 mile roundtrip mostly vertical climb is a must see.
