"Hiked up from Andy Lane parking area nursing a hamstring and sciatica. Chilly, windy day that warmed with the sun and forest, but was brutal on the ridge. Wind stung our face, but the winter views through the trees were worth it. Across the Catawba Valley we could easily view Sharp Top and Flat Top (Peaks of Otter), Apple Orchard, and Purgatory.

"Amazing trail run completing the 10K loop of Deer and Grouse trails. Although North Mountain has a bad rep of being "boring" when compared to the magnificent peaks surrounding, it has tremendous windows that view the Eastern Continental Divide. It's remote and rarely are there other people or human sounds. Pristine nature with a very kept trail. Perfect for those who appreciate the remote element of North Mountain and wilderness." — runshigleyrun • Sep 28, 2022
"Although billed as the least favorite section of the Triple Crown circuit, I found North Mountain to be beautiful as it was covered in late summer wildflowers. Several hikers were out completing the circuit, so it did not feel so remote. Ran about 12 miles of rugged singletrack. The trails (Quail & Deer) were much more maintained than I could have ever imagined. This was mountain #30 of my project to reach 100 peaks in my first year in Roanoke.
