Things to do in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina (NC): The Best Tours
Pisgah Forest is an unincorporated community in Transylvania County, North Carolina, United States. It sits at an elevation of 2100 feet (640 m) along U.S. Route 64, northeast of Brevard. It is approximately a 30-minute drive from the Asheville Airport. The community lies in an area noted for its many waterfalls and white squirrels. Pisgah Forest is a popular retirement area, at least partly because of the many hiking trails and trout streams of the nearby Pisgah National Forest and the DuPont State Forest.

Every guide on our team has developed an intimate knowledge of our national forest and can offer you an in-depth history to all the areas we run in. Originally owned by George Vanderbilt, Pisgah National Forest is the oldest of its kind in the eastern United States and holds deep historical relevance among several generations. Though different than a hiking tour, our running tours accommodate any pace - even if you may consider yours more of a hike. It's also expected that we will stop several times for photos along the way.

This is one of my favorite hikes in the Asheville area. It is remote and beautiful! This is a local's ony hike that you will not find in a guide book. I discovered this while leading trips for Outward Bound. The hike is a perfect challenge for anyone up for an exhilarating experience with amazing views of Pisgah National Forest. We will use ropes on three sections to assist up the steep sections but we will descend off the back side of the mountain that is gradual. I promise it be be one of the best hikes you will find here in Asheville!
Inclusions: Rope for handline and a First Aid Kit
Exclusions: Bring a lunch to have on the summit., We can stop at Oskar Blues brewery in Brevard after the hike for a victory beer if you would like!

Our experience with Cory on the river was a highlight of our trip! He was very communicative and made the experience easy. Even with a mild knee injury I was able to get & off the boat with ease to stop at the cool places he took us. He even coordinated with the first stop to have them open early so we could enjoy a beer on their patio. Good conversation, a little welcome history about the area, quality tunes, delicious beers and a slow float down the river.... few things in life are better. I highly recommend when you’re in the area!!
