Hiking
The Art Loeb Trail is a popular thirty mile mountain hiking trail in Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina. This higher elevation trail sticks mainly to the ridges and mountain summits in the area and can be a tough trail at times. This particular section of trail immediately begins climbing from the parking area to gain the ridge of Balsam Knob.
