From Linville Gorge to the Davidson River Valley, the land
comprising Pisgah National Forest has been a source of pleasure to
hikers for generations. This guide details almost 100 of the
forest's finest trails, selected for their views, the waterfalls
they visit, and the diversity of plant and animal life present. The
authors hiked all the trails using a hand-held GPS unit. Each trail
entry includes distance, elevation gained, GPS coordinates at
various points, and a detailed description of the terrain and
landscape. The guide also includes maps, as well as sidebars on
first aid and items of historic and botanical interest.
Black-and-white photos are scattered throughout. Appendixes provide
lists of loop trails, hikes for children and the elderly, half-day
and full-day hikes, and trails accessible from the Blue Ridge
Parkway. Franklin Goldsmith has a degree in philosophy from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received a degree
in engineering from North Carolina State University. His sister,
Shannon Hamrick, and her husband, James Hamrick, both held
undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. Franklin and Shannon grew up in McDowell
County, North Carolina, at the edge of the Grandfather District of
Pisgah National Forest. All three are experienced hikers.
