20 Mount Pisgah
This hike is the walking centerpiece of plentiful recreation opportunities along a lofty stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. From near the parkway's Pisgah Inn, you will join a well-maintained trail past the headwaters of Pisgah Creek, then work up the slope of Mount Pisgah on a rocky track, eventually reaching a platform and tower where a veritable land of milk and honey stretches out in all directions. Other trails spur from this locale, adding more hiking opportunities. You can also picnic, camp, or stay at the venerable Pisgah Inn.
