On the way home from South Carolina, we still wanted to get some more hiking in. We stopped in Brevard to get some food, and then headed into Pisgah for a short hike. This trailhead has limited parking - maybe room for 3 cars. I've been taking it easy since aggravating my foot tendinitis 3 days ago. I thought my foot was okay, but on the way back, it started hurting again. Ack. This trail seems to be mostly used by mountain bikers. We didn't do the full loop. There are no views on this section, and only a few plain looking mushrooms. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our hike. 

I checked, and our hiking club doesn't maintain this trail.
