Blue Ridge Mountain, Pat Mullen Mountain & Porter Mountain
July 19, 2019


Blue Ridge Mountain as viewed from Porter Mountain Road


Approaching the top


The top is heavily wooded


The blank benchmark. Someone etched in a number on it


This is from Porter Mountain


Pat Mullen Mountain is just a boring forested hill, this image taken from Porter Mountain


Sign at the start


Sign at the junction to the spur trail


Nice trail and forest up here


The general top


This rock might be the highest point


Or maybe this one


Impressive juniper!


Gnomes and other little trinkets


Porter Mountain and its ugly gravel mine


Parked at the 7,400-foot level


Towers up here, the highest point up ahead


The highest actual point, for what it's worth


More towers looking south. The image does not do this justice. There were lots of towers and it was so impressive


View of Blue Ridge Mountain from the road


Walking back to the gate


The gravel scar and part of the road
