Blue Ridge Parkway
The Pinnacle is a nice short and pleasant hike that likely will have no other travelers on it. The trail is not signed from the Parkway but once you start on the trail, there is a sign. The trail is not officially maintained with a few steep parts, but it is a nice trail to a nice rocky summit. The trail starts at an old gated road but quickly veers off and starts climbing the ridge.
Summit Elevation: 5,665 feet
Hiking Distance: 0.6 miles each way
