Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Mount Pleasant
If you like solitude and love areas that feel wild, your heart will soar at Mount Pleasant. The namesake mountain and the bald atop Cold Mountain provide can’t-miss vistas that, on the clearest days, span 4 of Virginia’s geographic areas. (The Blue Ridge, Piedmont, Shenandoah Valley, and Alleghenies.)
It’s roughly a six mile loop, though the elevation change isn’t too intense because we start from the Blue Ridge Parkway. There’s chance of rain, so we’ll make a weather call upon meeting Saturday morning.
What you need to bring? adequate layers of clothes for a day that might turn chilly, a warm hat, bottle(s) of water, snacks (we’ll be gone for lunch), camera, if you so desire. book about trees, if you so desire.
What the club provides? gas and a ride.
To folks on the waitlist for the Sunday hike: I will add you over the 8 limit to this if you sign up.
