On the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 15 miles from Asheville NC, you’ll find MOUNT PISGAH standing at 5,721 feet & is easily seen from many miles away by the identifying 339 foot TV tower perched at its peak which is the highest TV antenna east of the Mississippi at 6,023 feet above sea level.
At the site of Mt Pisgah is an Inn & Restaurant with spectacular long range views and the food is excellent! You can hike the 1.6 mile trail up to the peak for awesome views (moderate difficulty and steep toward the top). Do NOT hiking during a lightning storm! At the Mt. Pisgah parking area you’ll also find the Buck Spring Trail leading to the historic exhibit of the stone remains of the George Vanderbilt Hunting Lodge which was quite popular with his Biltmore Estate guests.
Enjoy a leisurely drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville. Pull off at the various look-outs along the way to enjoy the awesome views and maybe take a stroll along one of the many hiking trails, then head on to the Mt. Pisgah Restaurant to indulge in a delicious meal or dessert.
