Pinnacle Rock is a dramatic sandstone outcrop rising above the Tug River valley—ideal for wide panoramas, layered ridgelines and fall color. Short but steep approach leads to cliff-edge overlooks with sweeping vistas at sunrise or sunset. Accessible parking at the trailhead; wear sturdy shoes, watch for wind and seasonal ice. Clear nights can yield Milky Way frames; local coal-mining history adds context to valley shots.
