Let's hit the road fairly early and head out to hike Cold (Cole) Mountain, rated as the 5th most scenic day hike in Virginia by one experienced hiker! Cold Mountain is near Pleasant Mountain, and features about a 5.8 mile loop with steady but not steep elevation gains (about 1,400 feet of gain and loss). There are outstanding views from the balds at the top, and scenic forest hiking along several trails to reach those views. For those who would like to transition from just hiking in the Piedmont to hiking in the mountains this could be your introduction. If you can walk 5 miles on flat land you can stretch a bit and do this. You can set a pace comfortable for you. We never leave anyone behind ! Call or e-mail for meeting time and place.
