Length: 4.3 miles
Rating: Moderate
Pilot Cove-Slate Rock Trail begins by following Slate Rock Creek. This
is an easy to moderate grade with several stream crossings. Slate Rock
Creek is typical of mountain streams with small cascades and an abundance
of mosses and ferns.
Pilot Cove-Slate Rock Trail leaves Slate Rock Creek after almost three
miles and climbs up Slate Rock Ridge. Here, at the gap, the Pilot Cove
Loop intersects to the left. Continue straight ahead and the trail will
descend to Pilot Cove. You will pass through some open, grassy fields
before crossing the creek. You will cross the creek again, then pass the
other end of Pilot Cove Loop. Shortly thereafter you will return to FS
Road 1206. A left turn onto the road will bring you back to the start,
after 1.5 miles. Many hikers opt for a car switch.
