# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hike Hanging Rock State Park! January FSO
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Please join us on Saturday, January 3, 2026, for a re-do of our December FSO that was cancelled due to weather. This classic North Carolina hike is to one of the Piedmont’s most iconic views! The “Hanging Rock” is a massive quartzite cliff that juts out dramatically into the landscape, where we’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the Sauratown Mountains and the surrounding countryside. 

Participants will meet at 10:00 a.m. just outside the Hanging Rock Visitor’s Center located at 1005 Visitor Center Drive in Westfield (GPS Coordinates: 36.394973, -80.266308).    https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Ec51Y7gDQUXA8k9A

This is an out-and-back hike on a mixture of gravel, dirt, and rock steps. Expect a moderate workout on the ascent and watch your footing on the way down.  If you haven’t hiked it in a couple of years, you’ll notice the last portion is ½ mile longer and considerably less strenuous than before.  The length of the hike is approximately 3.6 miles, round trip, with an elevation gain of over 600 ft.  This hike is not ADA accessible.

Toward the finish, those who want a longer hike may wish to split off toward Wolf Rock, Cooks Wall or Moore’s Knob.  If you do so, please inform the trip leader of your intention.

Participants for the hike should supply water and snacks, wear hiking boots and layers of water-shedding artificial fabric or wool and be prepared for rain, wind or other adverse weather. To participate with the DRBA group on this outing, all participants must sign a waiver.
