Alleghany County from Air Bellows Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Approximately 3729 ft. elev.)
|
The Eastern Continental Divide runs through the county. Our mountains average between 2,500 and 3,800 feet in elevation. The highest peaks of 4,000 feet or more are found in the Peach Bottom Mountains in the middle of the county.
Two main water tributaries run through Alleghany, the New River in the north and west and the Little River in the center and northeast. Both flow to the north into Virginia. 31 miles of the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway run through the county. The Parkway's largest recreational area, Doughton Park, is located here.
