Let's walk along the Mountains To Sea Trail from the Pisgah Inn to just past the Mount Pisgah Overlook. This section is also known as the Buck Spring Nature Trail. We will see the remnants of the Biltmore Lodge along the trail.

We'll leave a few cars at the Overlook so those who prefer can ride back rather than walking the round trip. The round trip is just under 3 miles so one-way is about 1.5 miles. This is a hike, not a stroll. There is not significant elevation change but the trail is rooty and rocky so trekking poles are recommended.

This year we will add a short spur trail out of the Mt. Pisgah parking area at the end of the original hike. At this time of year we expect to see beautiful Turk's Head Lilies blooming.

After the walk we'll enjoy our picnic lunches in the chairs that look across the mountains from behind the Pisgah Inn. We can leave lunches in our cars so we only need to take water on the trail.

Sturdy footwear and trekking poles are recommended. Please no dogs on this one! It's a delicate botanical area.
Carpooling is encouraged!
