Bee Mountain, Mountain summit in Avery County, North Carolina, US.
Bee Mountain is a summit within Pisgah National Forest in Avery County, rising to roughly 2,946 feet elevation. The wooded peak feeds water sources that eventually flow into the broader Catawba River network.
The mountain formed as part of the ancient Appalachian range through geological processes spanning many millions of years. Its creation through mountain-building events shaped the landscape of this eastern region.
Native American tribes of the Appalachian region regarded mountains like Bee Mountain as sacred places within their traditional hunting and gathering territories.
You can reach the summit via Roseboro Road SR1511 with best hiking conditions in spring and fall. These seasons offer milder weather and better trail accessibility for visitors.
The summit rises roughly 75 meters above surrounding ridges, making it a notable landmark in the region. This elevation allows multiple natural springs to originate here and feed the local water system.
