When we walk the dogs in our driveway at night, we can see lights atop these towers far up on Great North Mountain. These towers, in George Washington National Forest, are surrounded by fences and warning signs. We pass them when we walk from Crooked Run Road to the viewpoint that was created by a cut for utility lines.We only followed the orange-blazed trail for a short distance but it continues along the crest of the ridge. There are plenty of trails on Great North Mountain. You can purchase a map or a guidebook from the National Forest Service or the PATC or National Geographic.
NEWS FLASH: PATC says that the Forest Service has denied an application for wind energy development here on Great North Mountain. This is good news for our view and for the animals that live in the forest.
