How Can You See the Real Cold Mountain?

Record #:
6266
Abstract:
Cold Mountain was made famous by Charles Frazier's Civil War novel of the same name. It is located in Haywood County and is part of the Shining Rock Wilderness Area in Pisgah National Forest. Cold Mountain's elevation is 6,030 feet; reaching its summit requires a strenuous 10-mile hike. For non-climbers, the Milepost 411 overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway provides a good view.
