Peters Mountain Wilderness
Rugged Appalachian ridgelines, forested hollows, streams and sandstone outcrops make Peters Mountain Wilderness a strong landscape destination — dramatic panoramic vistas, seasonal fall color, spring wildflowers and dark skies for stars.

Best light: sunrise/sunset on the ridge for backlit mist and gold; autumn for foliage; clear winter nights for Milky Way. Expect steep hikes, few facilities and limited cell.
