This quartzite isolated mountain rock is capped by two prominent pinnacles. It can be seen from many miles down the interstate highway majestically poking up in the sky. Big Pinnacle is a 2,241 peak, higher than Little Pinnacle. We hiked .5 mile to the top of Little Pinnacle which gave us expansive views of North Carolina and Virginia. We saw three monarch butterflies which was exciting since we have only seen two in Ohio this summer. A unique educational sign compared wingspans of large birds that fly in the area. I couldn’t help but pose and show that my wingspan is equal to a bald eagle although the eagle has more hair than me.
