Brush Mountain Wilderness

Brush Mountain Wilderness encompasses steep slopes, dense forests, and rock formations across the mountainous terrain of western Virginia National Forest system.

The wilderness designation in this section of Virginia reflects the nationwide movement to protect natural lands that gained momentum throughout the 20th century.

The protected land serves as an educational resource where visitors learn about forest ecosystems, wildlife patterns, and natural resource conservation methods.

Hikers need to bring navigation tools, sufficient water, and emergency supplies, as the wilderness area does not maintain marked trails or provide facilities.

The wilderness contains specific geological formations from the Ridge and Valley region, with elevations ranging from 1,520 to over 3,070 feet.
