Little Pisgah Mountain is located near the Hickory Nut Gorge, and although it is not as well known as some of the other mountains in the area, Little Pisgah has one of the best views of any of them. The hike to the summit begins at the parking area for the Florence Nature Preserve and extends for 5.5 miles past cascades, through forests, and up to the top, where hikers can see views of the Hickory Nut Gorge as well as many of the other mountains in the area. On a clear day, even Linville Gorge can be spotted.
