Pinnacle Mountain, Mountain summit in South Carolina, United States
The Pinnacle Mountain Trail extends 4.2 miles through dense forest, crossing mountain streams and leading to an elevation of 3,415 feet above sea level.
Researchers discovered over 600 prehistoric petroglyphs on Pinnacle Mountain in the 1990s, dating between 1,500 and 3,500 years before present.
The petroglyphs found on Pinnacle Mountain predate Cherokee settlements and represent early Native American art from the Hopewell culture period.
Visitors must register at the Nature Center before starting the strenuous hike, which requires sturdy footwear and sufficient water supplies.
Pinnacle Mountain holds the distinction of being the tallest mountain entirely within South Carolina's borders, featuring characteristic eroded structures.
