Description

Mt Jefferson (4683') is a large mountain which towers 1600 feet over the towns of Jefferson and West Jefferson, and the New River. A well-designed paved road heads up the mountain through Mt Jefferson State Park, with at least 3 scenic overlooks. These overlooks also offer an opportunity for picnics, since there are grills and tables. Try the 1-mile (roundtrip) hike to Luther Rock, which overlooks the New River. I plan to do it someday soon!
