Pisgah Inn from Hwy 276 via the Mountains to Sea Trail
Overview
This is a moderate one way trail near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Pisgah Ranger District.
The trail begins at the Buck Springs Trailhead on Hwy 276 near the BRP. At around 1 mile in, the trail joins the Mountains to Sea Trail (MST). (Note: the track shown currently begins at this intersection a mile into the described hike.)
Most of the hike is a gentle climb through very scenic forest, with a few rock-hop crossings of small streams. It does get a bit steeper toward the end, finishing with a set of switchbacks climbing up to The Pisgah Inn.
The views from the top are phenomenal, and this is a perfect place to rest after the climb. When the Pisgah Inn is open for the season, there are many Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy the view, as well as a restaurant, restrooms, grab-and-go cafe, and other facilities.
