Geocache Description:

Adopted from Weedhopper.

Near the summit of Mt. Pisgah, north of the Blue Ridge Parkway on the Mt. Pisgah Trail.


Accessible via the Mt. Pisgah Trail (1.5 miles one way) at NE end of large Mt. Pisgah parking lot MM 407 on BRP. Elevation gain is 700 feet, so the trail is considered strenuous, although popular with families. It is very rocky and sometimes steep in spots, especially near the summit, so watch your step, especially when descending. Summit affords unique close-up views of radio/TV tower and viewing platform gives great views of surrounding area, especially to west and south. Your presence at the cache site probably won't be observed by others on the trail, but your conversation will be heard.

I adopted this cache from Weedhopper in May 2008 at his request. Please make sure that the cache is positioned so that the small hole is pointing downward. (This is not so important as there is now a Lock&Lock inside the ammo can.) Enjoy!
