From Linville Gorge to the Davidson River Valley, the land comprising Pisgah National Forest has been a source of pleasure to hikers for generations. This guide details almost 100 of the forest's finest trails, selected for their views, the waterfalls they visit, and the diversity of plant and animal life present.
The authors hiked all the trails using a hand held GPS unit. Each trail entry includes distance, elevation gained, GPS coordinates at various points, and a detailed description of the terrain and landscape. The guide also includes maps, as well as sidebars on first aid and items of historic and botanical interest. Black and white photos are scattered throughout. Appendixes provide lists of loop trails, hikes for children and the elderly, half day and full day hikes, and trails accessible from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
