Weekenders (VS) - Pisgah Inn to Mt. Pisgah AND Frying Pan Mountain

"The Weekenders" is a GNHA group that hikes on Saturdays or Sundays. Although hike distance, elevation gain and pace may vary, hikes will conform to the GNHA Hike Rating System for VS or VVS hikes. See the Hike Rating System: https://www.greenvillehiking.com/hike-rating-system .

Hike Details: The hike will start at the large parking lot in front of the Pisgah Inn. We immediately cross the BRP to head up the Mt. Pisgah Trail, and follow all the way to the summit of Mt. Pisgah to enjoy the views. After the Summit, we retrace our route back down the mountain until we join the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, which will take us back to Pisgah Inn for lunch in that area. After Lunch, we again cross the BRP to pick up the Frying Pan Mtn./Big Bald Trail which we will follow to the Frying Pan Mountain Fire Tower for more terrific views. After the Tower, we retrace our route back to Pisgah Inn and our vehicles.
