The Pisgah 400 Challenge is another program of Carolina Mountain Club. The challenge is to hike all of the official trails in the Pisgah Ranger District of the Pisgah National Forest. The official trails are those numbered and named in the two lists on the National Geographic map of the Pisgah Ranger District, map 780. Backtracking is required to return to your vehicle and to access trails in the backcountry. Total distance can vary wildly and part of the challenge comes down to finding the most efficient route to cover all the trails.
