A Hiking Tour of Looking Glass Rock
Come along with me as we climb up the backside of Looking Glass Rock in the Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina, USA.
Looking Glass Rock is a pluton monolith in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. The mountain is located within Pisgah National Forest about 5.5 miles (9 kilometers) northwest of Brevard and 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Asheville. Named for the way its granite face reflects the sunshine, it rises from the valley floor to an elevation of almost 4000 ft.
NOTE: In the video I mistakenly state that the trail is a 3 mile round trip. It's actually 3 miles EACH WAY. This is important to know if you're planning to do this hike, and I apologize!
Sun Wall Trail - Pisgah Forest, NC
Sun Wall leads to the giant granite formation of Looking Glass Rock. You can explore along the granite face. It's a very short trail, but It's a pretty cool hike for a quick out and back. What I did on this hike is go left at the wall and ended up bushwacking until I ran into another trail that climbers use to get to the wall. That way, I made a loop out of the hike instead of an out and back

Rock Climbing in North Carolina - Cedar Rock, Pisgah National Forest - Asheville Area
This was our first time climbing outdoors and we loved it! We booked with Pura Vida Adventures ( and enjoyed a fantastic day climbing. This is only a short video of our last climb of the day. We found out just how different outdoor climbing is compared to indoor climbing. We had such a great day with our wonderful guides learning new climbing skills.
