Mount Pisgah is an easy hike just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The popular and not particularly interesting trail starts leads through the forest and is manicured with occasional human-made rock steps. Aside from a couple of tiny views to the green hills to the south and a peek at the summit TV towers, the trail is just a pleasant green tunnel. The last few switchbacks to get to the viewing deck on the summit of Mount Pisgah are a little steeper than the rest of the hike. A massive tower takes up the majority of the views, but it's still a nice hike with good views.
