Pilot Mountain

Went climbing Pilot Mountain, or actually following the Ledge Spring Trail which skirts first along the top of rock cliffs, then along the bottom. All along the trail were folks rappelling the rock faces.

Most of the trail was climbing rock steps, which isn't really hiking but we enjoyed the trip, which ended up spending the night in a cheap-ass hotel in Roanoke, then down the Blue Ridge Parkway for a bit, followed another road east out of the mountains and finally through Virgilina.
