This short but rocky trail up to Mt. Pisgah is a classic. It climbs up to an observation tower with 360 degree views. The trail is lined with spring flowers and rhododrendron.

This trail can be combined with walking on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (white circles) to Pisgah Inn. A popular trail, not one if you are looking for solitude.
