Cooks Wall Mountain

Cooks Wall Mountain is a summit in North Carolina, rising to 2,390 feet about 4.7 miles from the town of Danbury. It sits in a cluster of climbing areas and hiking trails, so it works well as a destination for a day of rock and trail. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury show October highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, and April is similar at about 70°F by day and 44°F at night. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The closest neighbors are the Warfare area (Upper Cookbook) and the Prow climbing areas, both about 0.1 mile away, along with the Cooks Wall climbing area. The Cooks Wall Trail is about 0.3 mile off, and the Torys Den Trail is about half a mile away.
