In a distant corner of North Carolina's Piedmont is an unusual mountaintop that has been used as a navigation aid since time immemorial. Named Pilot Mountain, the peak is now the main feature of a state park, and gives its name to a nearby town.
There is no scheduled public bus service. From Winston-Salem, which is the nearest city, you can take the 52N to get to the state park.
