So much to see on the ground in the trees and rocks, and up in the sky!
We hike - and this is a great place to go!
There are trails here for all skill levels. Everything is pretty well marked, and the maps are spot on.
Got an opportunity to climb to the top of this mountain. Every person we met on way up and down was courteous and offered great advice. My only disappointment came from some hecklers who were hiding and calling my husband and I the N word.
Close to Charlotte, but the views are wide open and not views of the city!
Great on slow days, but terrible on busy days. The trails aren't very difficult, but you can get a good challenging workout if that is your goal. The views are the best you will find this close too Charlotte. The thing that makes this park not worth going to is the crowds. If you go on a (non holiday) weekday, when the kids are in school; you have the ability to enjoy nature. Unfortunately on most weekends, especially during warmer months, it gets so crowded that it feels like your are walking around uptown Charlotte... assuming you get there early enough before parking fills up and the rangers start turning people away. If you are willing to drive a little further, I'd recommend visiting South Mountain State Park if Crowders is full.
Crowders Mountain is one of the best hiking spots so close to such a major town, I have lived in various other cities across the US but haven't come across many as good as Crowders within such a short drive. Love the Tower Trail, Pinnacle Trail and the Crowders Trail. Gets a bit packed on the weekends as expected, but still a good place to go hiking nevertheless.
This place is great!
Really an amazing park to me.
Don't be turned off by the busy parking lot - with all the trails and service roads, it is easy for people to spread out.
The staff in the welcome center was very nice.
Had a great day of December hiking. This place has a reputation for crowds but not too bad today. Well-marked and maintained trails, nice visitor center, all you could want and close to Charlotte
Take the water and carb refueling food - it is easy to pick up a new trail and just keep going!
