Panther Mountain

The same day I visited Giant Ledge, I also hiked up Panther Mountain. Panther Mountain is about 750 feet higher then Giant Ledge, and is one of the high peaks, at an elevation over 3,500.

Hiking

Portions of the trail are made up of rock stairs up the mountain. Other parts you climbed up rocks, but nothing too steep.

Stairs

Along the trail in full color.

One of the best views off the mountain was how clear Indian Head Mountain looks from off of Panther Mountain.
