Trip Report

It was a surprise to have pleasant hiking weather. Darko surprised us with his sighting of the purple snow queen flower and the sprouting hound's tongue leaves. June gave us the best surprise when she told us it was her first time to the top of Mt. Pisgah. The parking lot was packed with cars but our route on trail 4 and 2 had very few hikers. The hike took almost 3 hours.
