A great place to sit and ponder how rich the vanderbilts must have been to be able to build a house up here and more importantly to come up here and visit prior to any of what we have nowadays.
One of my favorite places on the Blue Ridge Parkway thanks to George Vanderbilt we have this beautiful place to enjoy.
We hiked to Buck Spring Lodge from Mt Pisgah Inn. It was about 30 min one way. We were disappointed there was no "lodge" to see. (We didn't know it had burned down.) There is a great view of the mountains from the site of the lodge.
Another nice area to hike along the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST). This area is close to Mount Pisgah. Easy parking is available at many locations including the Buck Springs Gap Overlook (just a 500' walk). Drive further down the road and you'll come to the Mt. Pisgah trailhead. There's a really great view at this location including some benches to sit on.
Amazing sunrise views over the mountains! Couldn't stop coming to this vista for pictures!
Just my humble opinion, but this is the very best stop on the Parkway. Vista views, great hikes, and I love all the stone stairs and lawns. I vote this best overlook and best place for a picnic lunch.
Awesome little place for the girls to explore. You can the remains of the old lodge that was built by Vanderbilt way back in the late 1800s. Really cool little place. Good view of the sunset as well. If you climb the stairs to the right of the first parking lot, you will find a wide open eastern lookout and some seats. There's a small open space if grass there as well perfect for a picnic.
