A High Mark: 40 years ago today, mountain became a beloved state park
PILOT MOUNTAIN (Winston-Salem Journal) - Ravens float on the wind, and rhododendron bloom along Pilot Mountain -- a rocky outcropping between Winston-Salem and Mount Airy that for years has been a landmark for travelers and a peaceful retreat for locals.
The mountain can be majestic and humble, rugged and delicate. It offers views of more than 3,000 square miles on a clear day. And, at 2,421 feet above sea level, it can be awe-inspiring.
"You can look out and see things that you can't see from anywhere else," said Vann Cox, 67, who grew up in the nearby town of Pilot Mountain.
