Whitetop Mountain, Protected mountain peak in Southwest Virginia, United States.
Located in Jefferson National Forest, Whitetop Mountain reaches an elevation of 5,525 feet with mixed hardwood forests and red spruce woodlands.
The mountain served as a strategic signal point during the Civil War and later hosted the White Top Folk Festival from 1932 to 1939.
The mountain intersects three Virginia counties - Grayson, Smyth, and Washington - forming a natural boundary within the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area.
Visitors can access the summit by vehicle through US 58 West and Route 600, making it the highest vehicular access point in Virginia.
The mountain functions as an ecological island, supporting plant and animal species typically found in northern regions, including old-growth red spruce forests.
