Rocky Face Mountain Recreational Area

Have you always just assumed that the Brushy Mountains were the geological creation of John Boy & Billy? In fact, they are quite real and quite lovely. A great place to experience the Brushy Mountains is at Rocky Face Mountain in northern Alexander County near Hiddenite. Rocky Face tops out 600 feet above the surrounding countryside, offering great views. Living up to its name it offers lots of rocky exposure, some suitable for top-rope climbing. Five miles of trail help you cover a good representation of Rocky Face.
