Pisgah Hike - Pisgah Inn to Mt. Pisgah

Pisgah Inn to Mt. Pisgah

We will begin our hike at the Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway and continue along the Mountains to Sea trail running parallel to the Parkway. We will stop at numerous overlooks along the way for scenery and picture taking. Once at the base of Mt. Pisgah, one can choose to do the 2.5 mile round trip, 700' elevation gain hike to the top for 360 degree views or take a break at a nearby overlook. We will return on the same Mountains to Sea trail back to the Pisgah Inn.
After the hike, there's the Pisgah Inn for dinner and / or Dolly's for ice cream. I'm in for both of these.
