Rising up High in the sky are the Uwharrie Mountains. Steep,Rugged and awaiting your arrival as we kick the 2013 Search for the Mountain Goat off this year.
Morrow Mountain is one of the highest peaks in the ancient Uwharrie Mountains of central North Carolina. At one time they rose to nearly 20,000 feet above sea level, but erosion has gradually worn them down to little more than high hills. Although the park contains several peaks, Morrow Mountain is a high point at 936 feet.
Both courses will wind to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, and Hattaway Mountain on some of the best trails of the Morrow Mountain system. Those that are on the longer course will go all the way to the top of Morrow Mountain.
