With a 712-foot elevation gain, the 1.5-mile hike up to the top of Mount Pisgah (5721 feet) was a real cardiovascular workout. If you are familiar with the Bible, you might recognize the name. Mount Pisgah is the biblical name for the mountain that Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land.

Visibility wasn't very good on this day, and we made it back to our jeep just in time before the thunderstorms.
