The adventure started just getting to the trail head to hike the summit of Mount Pisgah. From Engadine Inn and Cabins in Candler (great place to stay!), we drove on Route 151 through Hominy Valley and inched out way up to the Blue Ridge Parkway....More

A nice place to hike and enjoy nature without needing to get too strenuous. This forest and surrounding areas would be even better to see in the Fall when the leaf colors change.

We were able to swim, hike, climb a bit, camp, fish, sightsee, etc... this is a really good spot for summer vacation/ summer camps. Loved the fact we were able to camp so close to the main attractions like sliding rock and looking glass falls....More

Breathtaking views and some waterfalls. They are many areas to pull off for a picnic. Many hiking opportunities as well.

I could spend weeks exploring this beautiful place. There are tons of opportunities for swimming, hiking, and biking. Definitely a great spot for a picnic or a camping trip.

Lovely mountain and valley trails, many next to creeks or waterfalls. From easy to difficult hikes, for all levels. Trails well marked.
