Review & FAQ:
The Sylva Pinnacle is one of dozens of peaks in the region referred to as The Pinnacle, and lies close to Blackrock Mountain in the Plott Balsams. From its summit of 5,008 feet, visitors will see some of the major peaks in the southern Appalachians and the town of Sylva far below. Depending on the approach, a hike to the summit may include a rocky scramble, and hikers should note that the two campsites near the top are not actually the summit, as some believe. The 3.5-mile Pinnacle Trail continues into a beautiful hardwood forest and up to the actual peak, which is rocky and treeless with views in all directions.
