We’re staying at the Mt Pisgah Inn for two nights – views are great, food is great, rooms are not bad for 5700 feet above sea level out in the middle of nowhere. (I’ve actually had worse rooms.) We arrived late yesterday afternoon and had supper in the restaurant (you don’t need to be a guest to eat at the restaurant – its a really nice place).
After breakfast we headed out to look for butterflies. No luck at wagon wheel gap or tunnel gap so we decided to go on down the parkway, almost to the end. On the trip back we found a lot of blue butterflies (swallow tails?) and some monarchs. It was starting to rain but we stopped at Graveyards fields to hike down to the waterfalls. We were last there 15 or 16 years ago. They now have wooden bridges and walkways (both wooden and paved) for easy access. It’s an easy walk down and a steep walk up – but I made it. Butterflies don’t do rain, so we came back to the room to rest and enjoy the views while i got some work done.
