Mount Pisgah (5,722 ft.) is a very famous, easily recognizable landmark around most of western North Carolina especially the downtown Asheville area. Its distinct feature is its large WLOS antenna at the top so it’s very easy to pick out from the surrounding mountains. Its summit has 360 degree views if you don’t mind the antenna blocking some of it. This is one of the most popular hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway and is usually crowded.
On clear days you can see downtown Asheville and the Biltmore House. Also you get views of the Craggy Mountains and Black Mountains. Cold Mountain and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are also visible.
Very rugged rocky trail. Gets steep once you arrive at the ridgeline until the top
