Description

Added by Sophia Etienne

Tough but rewarding 30 mile backpacking trip, perfect for a weekend!

Beginning at either Davidson River Campground or Daniel Boone Boy Scout Camp on the Little East Fork Pigeon River, this 30.1 mile backpacking trail takes you through the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina. With a total elevation gain of 7,887 ft from Davidson River Campground, this is a relatively tough hike but very worth it. We hiked from Davidson River Campground, which means the first day and a half we were slogging through the woods on the ascent. The last day we made the final ascent to Black Balsam Knob and witnessed the most amazing sunrise.

Camp at Davidson River Campground in the Pisgah National Forest

Pisgah National Forest, in my opinion, is one of the best national forests in the United States. Being just a short drive from Great Smokey Mountain National Park it has all the feel of being in the smokies with more to explore. Pisgah has anything you could want to see or do from tens of waterfalls throughout the park to mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and so much more. Davidson River Cam...

Drive the Forest Heritage National Scenic Byway

You can drive this highway getting different views during the different seasons. Along the drive, have your camera ready for beautiful vistas, Looking Glass Falls, and many adventures along the highway. The views are especially beautiful in the autumn with the leaves changing colors. This route doesn't typically show up in GPS or google maps, but you can see a map of the loop on Romantic Ashevi...

Looking Glass Falls

Looking Glass Rock located along the Blue Ridge Parkway (North) is one of the largest masses of granite in the Eastern US. It got it's name for the way the sunlight hits its rocky surface when wet, creating a shimmering, reflective, mirror-like effect. The views from this overlook are vast and clear, unhindered by trees that may block parts of other scenic overlooks along the parkway. This is ...

Looking Glass Rock

This is a really nice, moderately difficult hike along a cascading creek, up switchbacks, and through wildflower fields. A couple miles in, you'll reach a helipad that is used for rescuing injured rock climbers - Looking Glass Rock is a popular destination for world class climbing. There is a small trail leading away from the helipad with nice views of the lower cliffs. Continue past the helip...

Moore Cove Falls

The hike relatively quick and has minimal elevation gain, making it a great hike for the family or a quick stop off if you're planning to do another hike in the same day. This part of the Pisgah National Forest is filled with scenic hikes. Once you've parked your car, cross over the stream via a small foot bridge. This flat, smooth trail leads through a lush forest for 0.7 miles (following th...
