Hiking

Buck Creek Gap offers an excellent overlook at a parking area just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The viewing area spans views of Pisgah National Forest and the forested trails of the Mountains-to-Seas Trail. There is trail access to the MST here; you can follow this portion of the trail to Woods Mountain for more remote viewing of this mountainous region.
