Description:

MEET at the North Trailhead. (Turn left -- not right to the main gate/pavilion) Required to have a face covering. Please read the COVID guidelines on our webpage. We will take Trail 3 to Trail 4, then DOWN to Trail 2 and then UP 800 ft elevation on the east side. It will take around two hours and 15 minutes at a moderate space to get to the top. I like this route because we see fewer people, the trail is wider in some sections and we aren’t hiking under the powerlines.

Trip Report

We set off in covid-safe distances in the chilly, 40 degree fog, noting frost-tinged grasses as we passed through oak savanahs, moving into sun-filtered forests, and finally into bright sunlight for the last mile or two of the 8 mile hike around the outside, northeastern most trails. A lovely hike, planned by Janet, her favorite route up Mt. Pisgah.
