Pisgah Peak and Forest Park Explore Appalachian Beauty
A vivid tour describes Pisgah Crest with meadows and log lodges built from native timber. The scenery includes Biltmore house in sight, views of Asheville and four counties, and Mt. Mitchell looming over the Smokies and Blue Ridge. Vanderbilt’s roads to Pisgah Lodge and the forest’s role in the Appalachian Forest Reserve are noted, followed by social notes from Chase City and surrounding towns including New Year dances, polo, fox hunting, and local gatherings.
