Pine Mtn: See IT For Yourself
Definitely plenty of rock out there. Solid highball sandstone, the good stuff!
Ideally: There would be plenty of shade, minimal heat due to a higher elevation, benches to sit, ample parking, a good road, and running water.
Realistically: There was occasion shade from the blasting heat but no way to escape to high temps all around; elevation did nothing for this. There were benches to sit, however finding a spot to park while its crowded is a bit tough; I could easily see a good hike into the boulders. No running water, except for the one that carved big ruts in the road making the car ride slow and dangerous near the cliff edge. Yes there are bathrooms! But you don’t want to use them trust me…or see it for yourself.
Dissing Euros shut us down this time but our next run will be much different...to be continued..
