Ever Heard of Bluff Mountain??

Ashe County is lucky to have within its borders a most interesting mountain, Bluff Mountain. Twenty five hundred acres on the moutain is owned by the Nature Conservency; they control the access to the summit and a large portion of the moutain. It is possible for guests to make a reservation and hike the moutain with a guide provided. There is a nominal fee. The hike is of medium difficulty and about 2 miles. The guide provides a most interesting opportunity to learn about the many, many types of flora there are on Bluff. There are 19 spots where the guide provides a talk and information. I am told that there are 11 distinct ecologies on the mountain---11! There is a 2 acre fen at the top of Bluff.
Soon, Bluff Mountain will be turning back to green and in the fall, orange and red and yellow and all those spectacular colors of autumn. Plan a trip to the area soon!
Take a moment to look up Bluff Moutain with your favorite search engine and you will see that this mountain is one of the most unique in the entire Appalachian chain. I can look at Bluff Mountain from my front porch! Doc
