Review & FAQ:
Three Top Mountain consists of a 6-mile ridge in Ashe County, upon which stand several prominent, rocky peaks. It makes for a distinctive shape in the North Carolina skyline, and the tallest of these peaks stand at 5,020 feet elevation, with trails for hiking and ATVs. The trails to the summit are of various levels of difficulty, but most are for experienced hikers, as several require scrambling or climbing. Along the route, visitors may find forests and old logging lands, rocky outcroppings and ridges, and even the state’s only naturally occurring growth of bluebells.
