Spectacular views from the summit of Sharptop. If you are feeling ambitious you can hike there from the base. Otherwise you can take a shuttle which will drop you off just below the summit and you can walk from there.

A must see for nature enthusiasts. As one of the highest peaks in Virginia the panoramic views from the top are breathtaking! I go at least once a year.

Unlike some of the reviewers this is listed as just the peaks. Not the restaurant. Not the hotel. Which might I add is in the mountains to the one who complains of cell phone reception. 😧Anyhow for a traveler/backpacker/hiking loving/out doorsy this is a must see spot. The views are a necessity especially up the trails. There are 3 to choose from with different levels of burn in the thighs. Technically 4 but I don't count the path around the lake like some do. All are pretty in there own way and I can't knock a single one.You owe it to yourself to enjoy the outdoors. To breathe in fresh air and get the exercise your body craves. Please visit this beautiful piece of nature. It's truly one of my favorite spots.
