    Hiking

    Tennent Mountain is a grassy bald with a rocky summit in the Great Balsams in Pisgah National Forest. Hiking the well-maintained Art Loeb Trail offers relatively easy access this breathtaking mountain views. At the summit, you'll find a large marker dedicated to Gaillard Stoney Tennent (1872-1953), who, according to the plaque, "established organized hiking in North Carolina."
