Rock-climbers, hikers, and thrill seekers, convene! Our 1-page trip through Stokes County NC includes all the outdoor fun you're looking fun on a perfect summer day or weekend excursion. Our Stokes County 1-page trip includes the best summer things to do in the area, including climbing one of NC's largest monadnocks.

Monadnocks are geological land formations characterized by a solitary hill, knob, or small mountain that rises abruptly from an otherwise flat or gently sloping surrounding landscape. These formations are usually composed of hard, erosion-resistant rock types, like granite, that endure while softer rock erodes over millions of years. Fun fact: Poet Ralph Waldo Emerson coined the term ‘monadnock' after witnessing an unusual mountain formation in New Hampshire. In addition to enjoying two of NC's most-visited state parks, including monadnocks Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain, our Stokes County 1-page trip includes the following activities:

• Witnessing the Colonel Jack Martin Rock House
• Embarking on a rock-climbing expedition with Rock Dimensions
• Learning about cheese-making and sampling farm-made goat cheese
• Perusing unique finds at two local general stores
• Meandering through The Arts Place of Stokes
