Pilot Mountain

Well we had to wait in line for 25 minutes but we did get to hike Pilot Mountain.  Yes there was a wait to get a parking place.

​The hike was 2.4 miles the first 1.6 miles were rated as strenuous. From the parking lot the trail follows the top of a cliff.  As the trail turns back at the base of the cliff we came across a lot of people climbing.  Pretty impressive watching from below as they scaled up 50 feet above us.

​There were some very nice views of the valley.

​At the low point the hike was at 1600 feet in altitude at the high point 2200 feet.  So we had a transition of 600 feet but even then there were also rises and falls in between. So yes most of it was a pretty strenuous hike.
