Pisgah Inn has one of the all time best views that requires no hiking. The food is good in the restaurant...I usually get the trout. Huge ceiling to floor windows so you can enjoy the view while you eat. Huge deck you can get a glass of wine or beer if you don't want a meal or have to wait for a meal.
