Fall Scenic Hike in Pisgah National Forest

Join MountainTrue’s Ecologist and Public Lands Director Bob Gale for a gorgeous and educational hike through Pisgah National Forest. Bob has been studying and protecting the forests of Western North Carolina with MountainTrue since 1998. He knows these mountains like the back of his hand and will be sharing some of his knowledge on the hike, discussing everything from plant identification to the seasonal migration of Monarch butterflies.

We will be hiking the Pilot Cove Loop Trail in Pisgah NF, which is approximately 4 miles long. This trail runs along Forked Ridge which will offer some gorgeous views of the fall foliage, which experts are saying should be in full swing on our hike. There are some steep inclines on this trail, but Bob will be making stops to rest and interpret the flora and fauna.
