Review & FAQ:
Snake Mountain is entirely privately owned, but is accessible via Rich Mountain Gap, which is a popular with hunters. The high, peaked ridge of Snake Mountain sets it apart from nearby Elk Knob and Rich Mountain Bald, which are all part of the Amphibolite mountain range. The trails from Rich Mountain Gap to the top of Snake Mountain are not marked, but are frequently used and easy to follow, though the hike can be quite steep. The windward side of Snake Mountain can be home to some high winds and extreme weather conditions, so hikers should take care to plan ahead for the weather.
