Whitetop Mountain, Mountain summit in Virginia, United States.
The granite peak of Whitetop Mountain rises to 1682 meters, making it the second highest independent mountain in Virginia after Mount Rogers.
Native American tribes utilized Whitetop Mountain as a strategic location for hunting and gathering activities before European settlement in the region.
From 1932 to 1939, Whitetop Mountain hosted the White Top Folk Festival, bringing together musicians and dancers to celebrate regional traditions.
Visitors can drive most of the way to the summit through FR 89, but winter conditions require caution due to ice formation on the roads.
The mountain functions as an ecological island, supporting northern plant species like red spruce forests typically found in more northern latitudes.
