If you'd like to take a day trip on a really nice day, this trail isn't to far away and well worth the ride it takes to get there. The view of the mountain range is amazing and will take your breath away.It's a nice place to hike to with a boyfriend or girlfriend and have a picnic or something when you get to the top.

  1. A few years I went and hiked Mt. Pleasant on an overnight trip and the next day we went up Cold Mountain. It was an amazing trip and something I would love to do again! You should make time to take this trip!
