Mountain of the Week - Mt Pisgah
I recently visited Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina. This is an excellent place to get your mountain bike on… And if you like trout, there were hoards of trout fisherman. They would hike in a few miles on trails that followed the mountain streams and then cast their line. It looked like an excellent place to fish and our neighbors in the campground brought back several large trout to eat the first night we were there. The park is named after Mt. Pisgah which is the dominant peak in the area.
