Oventop Mountain, Virginia is a 2,468-foot mountain in Blue Ridge mountain range, a lovely forested mountain that gets more interesting as you get closer to the summit. There are some nice outcrops that are practically as high as the real summit with lovely views, a few clear, and one rocky outcrop that requires some serious scrambling to get to the top. There is an old trail that runs along the mountain ridges, connecting all three summits, and while not maintained, you will find it along the way in places. If you like solitude and enjoy some bushwhacking, you will love Oventop Mountain. To reach the main summit, you will hike 1.8 miles and gain 1,100 feet in elevation. There are no campgrounds, but back-country camping is allowed with a permit.
