Terri, I am sorry for your loss.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but here is the phone number for the Pisgah Ranger District (828-877-3265). Likely a ranger there will know how to help you.

He and I hiked in the Forest a couple of years ago, fell in love with the area and wanted to return. Are there individuals in the area who offer guided hikes to John Rock? Thanks for your reply.

Glad you enjoyed it Patrick. The view of Looking Glass Rock from John Rock is probably the best in Pisgah Forest.

I usually check your blog before I head out on any trails in WNC and greatly appreciate your insight into these wonderful hikes. This was beautiful! I went counter clockwise. The rain has been coming down for days, so there were a few wet spots. The variety in the forest is amazing, and the pine forest was a special surprise. The waterfalls just a short way off the trails are well worth checking out. The trails are well marked (a very nice change from Shining Rock – all though if you have a map and are observant it is no problem!) and oh. my. goodness! What a breathtaking view when you make it out onto John’s rock. W O W!

Definitely one of my favorite hikes so far in WNC. Easily manageable in a day, but long enough and a few elevation changes to feel like a good hike.

I saw two groups of kids with guides and some other folks, so don’t second guess yourself if you’re interested in this trail – it is gorgeous and perfectly manageable.

Cheers!

Thanks Jeff!
