Brown Mountain Rd ( Flynt Overlook)

Originally we were going to camp at Ironton Park Dispersed but it was very crowded already. We decided to venture further up the mountain via Brown Mountain Rd. When you think you have gone far enough, keep going. Its a little bumpy and 4x4 is definitely recommended but totally worth it. You'll come to a huge overlook with plenty of room to turn around, set up camp, and still be out of the way of others using the rd. It does get chilly at night and there was a very brisk breeze in the morning so plan accordingly. My husband even spotted a young moose right before the sun went down. Old abandoned mining equipment ads some extra vibes too. Don't know if the place has an actual name or not but we've decided to call it Flynt Overlook.
