day's Journey, Its renter is 17 miles
in a southwest direction from Ashe
vllle, from which its nearest point
Is only six miles distant.
Containing 1H4 square miles, it
formed the hulk of the land which
tla' late (icprpe VV. Vimderbllt acquir-.
o(| in tiie past 2>l year* in connection
with his princely Blltniore house, the
finest country place In America. "IMs
grth forest," ho culled this rherlshe?|
possession, and this name has 'boon
adopted by the commission. Con
served I ?y tin* first scientific forestry
practiced in America, It is the finest
and most extensive hardwood forest
in the eastern state's, and it will he
the largest area owned by the l.'nited
?States east of the Mississippi,
Large IValis Found.
Plsgah forest Is a princely domain
of mighty mountains ;ind crystal
streams. Lacking the barren gran
dour of the Rockies. it is a great
green garden of wooded heights and
grassy glades? inipenet table thickets
of rhododendron and azalea making
masses of bloom In spring and early
summer. In Its bounds are giant
I >enks, some grassy "balds," other
balsam-chid domes, and rock-capped
Summits with granite precipices shel
tering hear and wolves, culminating
In the sharp spire of Pisgah's pyramid,
5,7fi7 feet above sea level.
Abundant rainfall ensures luxuriant
vegetation. Noble trees of poplar, oak
spruce, hemlock, balsam, hickory, wal
nut, maple, birch, cover the slopes. A
thousand high-placed springs send their
cold waters through ferny jlells to
form the hastening streams. . Cascad
ing over rocky bottoms, they foam
against great boulders, swirl in dark
.pools, spread like a silver curtain on
rock tables and plunge, us at Looking
(J lass, sheer down for sixty feet. It
is a land of singing brooks and wldte
crested streams.
(jfame and fish abound in the forest.
It. Is estimated that there are' 3,000
deer, besides bear, wolves, foxes, rac
coons, o'possums, squirrel, rabbits
quail, t-iylld turkey, native pheasunts,
and the descendants of the Chinese
and English pheasants with which It
was stocked years ago. The clear, cool
water Is the native habitat of the
speckled or mountain trout, and In
the larger streams are the rainbow
or California variety. Wa,rdened re
ligiously for many years, the trout are
as plentiful as the most ardent fisher
man could desire.
Unequalled Scenic Road.
One majf reach the heart of this
wilderness in a two hour's ride from
Asheville, and the greater part of it
may l>e overlooked by a scenic road
believed to be unequalled in America ;
a road nearly a mile in elevation and
an automobile road at that. It was
built by Mr. Vanderbllt exclusively for
use by his automobile in reaching his
hunting lodge on one of the "ears" of
that "rat" which, as seen from Ashe
ville. the imagination pictures as
climbing to the sharp summit of lMs
gah/ . ? '
This road extends from the end of
the county macadam, 20 miles from the
city, and ascends 2,500 feet by a steady
grade of 3 to 7 i>er cent 7 miles to the
lodge, and then continues ? 10 miles
I along Pisgah ridge. It circles great
lK?aks, hanging over steep precipices
and crested heights over 5,000 feet
high, and then l>ecomes almost level
for several miles. The speeding car
unreels new scenic marvels each mo
ment. In front, above, Ijielow, an
ocean of greenery seems to rise and
fall as far as the eye can see? to the
dim blue of the Appalachian giants,
the mass of the Great Smokies guard
ing the Tennessee line, and northward
the dark pinnacle of Mt. Mitchell ?
highest land east of the Rockies. Far
below gleams the water-mirrored face
of a stone pinnacle that stands senti
nel In the river valley, and through
the widening vista of encompassing
ridges shows the distant escarpment
of the Blue Ridge, reaching from Geor
i gla to Virginia.
An extension of this road 12 or
15 miles t9 Brevard would connect
It with the state road to Asheville,
From it two roads lead down to the
valleys where are many miles of well
graded roads along the streams which
at slight expense could be converted
Into automobile highways. It Is the
plan of the Appalachian Park asso
ciation, whose headquarters are In
Asheville, to have the government
convert the most suitable parts of
the lands, which like this it acquires
under- the terms of the "Weeks act,"
for conserving the water supplies of
navigable streams, into national parks,
aud to connect these by automobile
roads that they may be easily access
ible to the lwople. These roads would
link the various reserves in the moun
lain sectlni. of the South.
