National Forest: Pisgah National Forest
Length: 65.0 mi / 104.6 km

Forest Heritage Scenic Byway is highlighted by beautiful mountain scenery and rich local history. Enjoy the Pisgah National Forest, over a million acres designated as a National Forest in 1916. And don't miss spectacular Looking Glass Falls, an 85 foot plunge named for nearby looking glass rock, a monolithic face of granite that gleams like a mirror from water seeping out of the stones. This byway intersects the Blue Ridge Parkway twice and connects with Waterfall Byway near Rosman.
