Elk Pasture Gap to Mt Pisgah - 7 Miles, 2200 Ft Gain
Details
DESCRiPTION
I have decided to completely redo the originally posted hike. It will now go from the intersection of the BRP and 151 to the top of Mt Pisgah and back. It picks up the upper end of the Shut In plus adds the Mt Pisgah trail. This hike has some serious elevation gain at 7 miles and 2200 ft per AllTrails. I usually find my watch records more elevation than AllTrails so please be prepared for steep/rocky uphill and downhill sections. The weather was about 10 degrees cooler up there on Saturday so bring extra layers. I apologize if this hike no longer meets your needs but please edit your RSVP if you want to drop.
I like to go about 2.7 mph although slower on the uphills so please make sure this hike is within your capabilities before signing up. This hike starts at 10:00 but remember your body will tell you it is 9:00. Signup opens at 5pm on Friday and I am going to cap this hike at 15
CARPOOL
We will meet at the Asheville Outlets at 9:30 behind the Waffle House. Please be there a little early so we can leave at 9:40. We will plan to start hiking at 10:00 at the trailhead. Please let me know via message or text if you plan to go directly to the trailhead.
WEATHER
I'll watch the weather and post a cancellation message by 7:30 AM as needed.
