PAGE THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK There is a trail to the very peak of Pis-' gah, and on the mountain crest are found lovely meadows, lush with tenderest grass and studded with drawf trees, windblown and indescribably pictur esque. The trail along this crest leads by Pisgah lodges, the finest collection of log houses in this country, built in imi tation of Swiss chalets, only the finest selected logs being used, and the furni ture being all of native work and made from mountain woods. Sporlsmeri will be charmed with the stately dining hall, the walls of which are covered with skins of animals shot or trapped in the forest. The view of Biltmore house from Pis gah peak, or from the lodge is like a vision of enchantment. The house hangs in the middle distance, like Aladdin's palace, snowy white and vast, and quite near it is Asheville. Four counties corner on this peak. South ward spreads the unbroken mass of Pis gah Forest, to the eastward is the rich valley of the famous French Broad river, bounded by the cloud-touching wall of the Blue Ridge; while to the westward is a wild and rugged view of mountain piled upon mountain, finally bordered by the Great Smoky range, which towers like the wall of a world. Within the sweep of vision one sees the culmination of the great Appalachian system, with no less than forty-three peaks exceeding 6,000 feet in altitude, these being the Smoky, the Balsam and the Black ranges, Alt. Mitchell dominating them all with its 0,711 feet; in its entirety the very noblest view which the eastern part of America a fiords. There are various ways of getting into Pisgah Forest; one by Asheville and Biltmore and by a very fine road con structed by Mr. Vanderbilt to Pisgah Lodge : the other by way of Henderson ville and Davidson's river up a rather steep and rough road, but one full of charms and surprises, along the French Broad river, Davidson's river and Aveny's creek The park can best be "done" on foot, though a saddle horse may be used. It is certain that this park or preserve, has had much to do with the now great movement for the National Park to be known as the Appalachian Forest Re serve, which originated in Mr. Vander bilt's two great developing ideas, shown first in his Biltmore estate, and next in Pisgah Forest, and thus Mr. Vanderbilt has made Americans his debtors.
