The three mountains that make up the Peaks of Otter are
by most accounts the most famous peaks in Virginia. Visible from Emerson Creek Pottery, they were
once hailed by Thomas Jefferson as being "of greater height than any in our country,
perhaps North America." Although there are higher mountains in the Blue Ridge, none
catches the eye like these twin mountains.
Flat top is the higher of the two at 4,000 feet, but Sharp top appears higher. This is an
optical illusion due to its bold and rocky shape. Sharp top with its awe-inspiring
panoramas draws the most visitors and enjoys the greater fame. It was from its pinnacle
that the stone, which formed Virginia's contribution to the Washington Monument, was
taken.
The Peaks of Otter have become the symbol of Bedford County. They are located on the Blue
Ridge Parkway, the most popular of our national parks. Few natural sites in the U.S. can
compare to the beauty, serenity and character of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
