This is a very steep trail that takes you to the top of Mount Pisgah. It is fairly strenuous. There is a viewing platform at the top and the view is spectacular. On a clear day you can see the neighboring cities of Asheville, Canton, and Waynesville.
From the Pisgah District Ranger Station/Visitor Center parking lot, turn right (north) onto US 276, proceed 14 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Proceed north past mile marker 409 to the Pisgah Inn, and then approximately one mile further to the Mount Pisgah Parking Area, on the right side. Enter this parking area and proceed through the first parking lot to a second lot, a short distance beyond the first. The trail begins at the far end of the second parking lot.
