Mount Rogers, Mountain summit in Virginia, United States.
Mount Rogers reaches an elevation of 1,825 meters and features dense forests of spruce and fir trees covering its slopes within Jefferson National Forest.
William Barton Rogers, the first president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Virginia's inaugural State Geologist, received recognition through the mountain's naming.
The Mount Rogers National Recreation Area maintains a herd of wild ponies that freely roam the grasslands and contribute to vegetation management.
Visitors access the summit through a 3.5-mile trail from Grayson Highlands State Park, connecting with the Appalachian Trail system.
The mountain contains geological evidence of volcanic activity from 760 million years ago, including substantial rhyolite lava flows from the Precambrian period.
