Hike Report: Cole Mountain - MAY 31, 2024
/Cole Mountain via Appalachian Trail, Virginia - re AllTrails.com
On Friday, May 31st, the WSC Hiking group completed a hike on Cole Mountain which is located within the Mt Pleasant National Scenic Area in Amherst County. The mountain has been described as “The Sound of Music” mountain because of its high-alpine open, grassy meadows with 360-degree views. The eleven hikers completed the six-mile loop and approximately 1200 feet ascent in about 4 hours which included a pleasant lunch midway at Cow Camp Gap Shelter. The weather was spectacular with temps ranging from upper 50’s to low 70’s and not a cloud in the sky. Thanks for everyone who came!
