Directions:
  • Hike from the Pisgah Inn to Pigeon Gap (a little way past the US 276 Trailhead). At Pigeon Gap, make a sharp hairpin turn to the right (leaving the MST) and continue to Wagon Road Gap Overlook.

A warm day on the MST. The first half of this hike is so easy. A gentle stroll downhill. So nice. I did trip a few times though. Ugh. Then we had a turn and started climbing to the end. It was a shock to my system after the easy first half, lol. Plenty of flowers on this hike, but not as abundant as we recently saw last month on the MST.

Luckily this hike has a lot of stream crossings, so Krumm could cool off.
