hardwood forest and features whitewater rivers, waterfalls, hiking
trails, and mountain peaks. Further, Pisgah National Forest contains
several natural and historical attractions, including the following:
Cradle of Forestry
Home of the Biltmore Forest School, the United States’ first forestry
school, the Cradle of Forestry features 15 hands-on exhibits, a
documentary film, a gift shop, and cafe. The site is also the trailhead of
three easy hiking trails and often has living history interpreters ready to
teach visitors about the school and the history of the area.

3. Pisgah National Forest
 Looking Glass Rock and Falls
For about 390 million years, Looking Glass Rock has towered above
the terrain that is now Pisgah National Forest. Stretching for almost
4,000 feet, the rock is a popular rock climbing destination and is a
prime point of interest for hikers and bird watchers. The rock is
surrounded by several waterfalls, including Looking Glass Falls, one
of the most popular waterfalls in the state.
Sliding Rock
Every summer, Sliding Rock welcomes children and adults who
enjoy sliding down the 60-foot natural water slide. The slide is
located roughly eight miles from Brevard and carries about 11,000
gallons of water every minute. At the bottom, there is an 8-foot-
deep pool that sliders can safely go into, plus plenty of observation
decks for visitors who prefer staying on the shores.
