Elliott Knob, Mountain summit in Augusta County, Virginia.
Elliott Knob is a mountain summit in Augusta County reaching 4,463 feet (1,361 m) in elevation. The slopes are covered with oak, hickory, yellow birch, and sugar maple trees.
The mountain was shaped by geological processes that formed the southern Appalachian region. A surveying marker from the National Geodetic Survey near the base helped establish its precise geographical position.
Boy Scouts from Camp Shenandoah regularly undertake a 14-mile hiking journey to reach the mountain summit as part of their outdoor activities.
Two main trails reach the summit: North Mountain Trail at 4.6 miles and Mount Crawford Trail at 2.6 miles, both marked with yellow blazes. Both routes offer a natural ascent with clear markings to guide hikers along the way.
The summit is home to a natural stand of red spruce trees, which typically grow in northern regions far from this location. A year-round spring and small artificial pond provide water and support the forest ecosystem.
