Rocky Face Mountain Recreational Area is located in the south central Brushy Mountains and offers big views for its elevation and location. This park is relatively unknown and is in a region where there are few public recreational opportunities. Thankfully Alexander County opened this park in 2012 for hiking, climbing, and camping. In total there are ~5.5 miles of trails in the park, but this hike covers what I believe to be the highlights. The parking lot is at the base of the old quarry, popular with rock climbers. The first notable trail feature is the 350-foot climb up an open granite face. Then you'll get two big views from the summit loop of the Brushy Mountains. On the way back you'll also follow the rim of the quarry wall. In summary this is a great little park with excellent views that all types of hikers can experience.  

Hike distance was 3.6 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes
