Mountain of the Week - Mt Pisgah
July 26th, 2007 Wade
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.
Mt. Pisgah - (5,721 ft - 1,744 m)
Mount Pisgah is a mountain in the Appalachian Mountain Range and part of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, United States. The mountain’s height is 5,721 feet (1,744 metres) and it sits approximately 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of Asheville at the crossing of the boundaries of Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson and Transylvania counties. The mountain is easily accessible via the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Anyone up for a fall trip?
4. Wade | July 27th, 2007
I think we would. My lovely wife would like to see the Biltmore and I would too. So, we might go down there at some point and do that anyway.
LBL is a good fall destination too!
