Look at a map of Western North Carolina and it’s hard to miss the blanket of green covering most of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pisgah National Forest, the first of its kind on the east coast, stretches for more than half a million acres, creating a home for towering hardwood forests, rushing rivers and a unique biodiversity of native plants and animals.

Hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, biking, and exploring crisscross the forest, inviting visitors to come and experience this region first-hand, and the possibilities are endless. Learn more about this beautiful forest at the link in our bio. ⁣
