little walker mountain Virginia United States

Little Walker Mountain is a 3,340-foot-tall ridge 

that forms a typical Blue Ridge profile by running northeast to southwest for nearly 20 miles. 

On both extremities, the ridge rises about 1,000 feet higher than its base. 

A southern Appalachian hardwood forest with chestnut oak, northern white oak, sugar maple, some white pine groves 

a few Carolina hemlocks covers the entire ridge, which is a part of the Jefferson National Forest. 

Over the highest ridges of Little Walker Mountain, the Seven Sisters Trail extends for roughly 5 miles. 

Although not the simplest hike, the trail is lined with wildflowers.
