Pisgah National Forest - North Carolina
North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest covers a vast area of 512,758 acres. The forest was created in 1916 after the purchase of 86,700 acres form the estate of George Vanderbilt II who built the famous Biltmore Estate near Asheville. The Blue Ridge Parkway runs through much of the Forest and is a popular tourist destination especially in the fall when the mountains are ablaze with color. • Hoedown by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (

Courthouse Falls In Western North Carolina
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Western North Carolina. Located just below the Devil's Courthouse Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway..
Froze my back up at Courthouse Falls NC
Mountain water is cold, but the mountain water at courthouse falls was freezing!!! ❄️????????buuurrrrrrr sheever sheever
As I jumped into the water I could feel my back start to freeze up to my neck. It even got a little crampy. Weird in the middle July!
This trailhead is right beside a bridge. I drove this dirt road back and forth for a little bit until I finally went far enough to get to the bridge and then parked, walked across the bridge and saw the courthouse falls trail. There are some places to park just off the side of the road. So when your gps says you are there, it’s true, you have arrived about the vicinity of where the falls is back in the woods, but keep driving to get to the trailhead. Thanks Google!

GRAVEYARD FIELDS + 2 WATERFALLS - Pisgah National Forest, NC

Stunning waterfalls and a distinctive landscape make Graveyard Fields one of the most popular hiking areas in the North Carolina mountains. Graveyard Fields is located about an hour south of Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Why the funeral name? One theory holds that many years ago a tremendous windstorm uprooted the spruce forest, leaving behind stumps that gave the area the appearance of a graveyard. Another speculation is that logging in the early 20th century left tree stumps resembling gravestones.
Graveyard Fields experienced catastrophic fires in the last century, once in 1925 and again in the early 1940s. These fires swept through the area, destroying the stumps and scorching the soil enough to render it sterile.
Wildflowers Enchant Hikers in this Blue Ridge Parkway Wilderness
Today, few signs of this fiery heritage are visible, a testament to nature's ability to heal itself and to create beauty from devastation. Populous plants include mountain laurel and rhododendron, as well as many wildflowers, such as bluets, galax, asters, and honeysuckle. In summer and fall, hikers can enjoy blackberries, gooseberries, and blueberries scattered throughout Graveyard Fields. The berries also attract a variety of wildlife, including a large number of white-tailed deer.

Devils Courthouse, Black Balsam Knob, and Sam Knob - Pisgah National Forest, NC
One of the most scenic day hikes I've been on in years to notable summits in Pisgah National Forest tucked between the Shining Rock and Middle Prong Wilderness Areas. I started on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail east from NC 215 towards Devils Courthouse. The views from the famous cliffs were just a warm-up for the rest of the day. Next were a series of south-facing cliffs on Chestnut and Silvermine Balds. Then I continued on the Art Loeb Trail to the incredible views from the grassy balds around Black Balsam Knob
I then went down to the Black Balsam Knob Rd parking lot to pick up the Sam Knob Summit Trail. Sam Knob is centrally located between the two wilderness areas and has awesome views from its two exposed summits. The loop is completed by taking the scenic Flat Laurel Creek Trail through a hanging valley. The trail follows the namesake creek by campsites and waterfalls with Sam Knob towering above. Just before you finish you'll also pass right by the base of Wildcat Falls. Easily one of the most scenic hikes in the state.
Hike was 12.1 miles with 2,205 feet elevation gain in 7 hours and 20 minutes.
