Not a Crowd at Crowder Mountain State Park (3/28/2023)

One of the places to visit that was mentioned to us by our homeowner and appears in all the travel brochures is Crowder Mountain State Park. It’s about a 35 minute drive from the house, near King’s Mountain National Park, which we have visited, and King’s Mountain State Park, which we have not.

All of that to say that Bob and I went to Crowder Mountain State Park today and had a great hike on the Pinnacle Trail, 4.4 mile round trip, with an 800 foot elevation gain. While we saw a few other people on the trail (no dogs, though dogs are permitted on leash), it was definitely not crowded.

A free small library in the Visitor Center. We have found that they have these near trails or parks.
The orange circle marked the Pinnacle Trail.
The signage on the trail was impressive.
