egend says that when God was creating Southwest Virginia He saw that there wasn’t enough area to spread out all the beauty so He decided to stack it (in some places as high as 5,000 feet) just to get it all in. And so were born the mountains of Southwest Virginia.
Known for it’s mountain beauty and peaceful rural setting, man and wildlife coexist in what has been described as a little slice of heaven here on earth. At any turn in the road you might find a whitetail deer curiously staring at you, a deep red cardinal ready to serenade your presence, a groundhog contemplating your passage, or even a black bear as startled by your presence as you are by his. People-watching apparently is a favorite pastime of the wildlife in this relatively unspoiled area.
Uniquely located directly between the Appalachian Mountains and the Blue Ridge Highlands, Montgomery County is an ideal access point for many of the area’s most recognizable attractions as well as a destination to enjoy in its own right.
Rich in beauty, Montgomery County is also awash in history. Founded at the point that was the gateway to the Wilderness Trail and the great American Frontier settlers and pioneers who came and made their home in the New River Valley began the settlement into the “west” which would not end until the last years of the nineteenth century.
One cannot experience all of Montgomery County in a quick day tour or even a lifetime – there’s just so much to discover. And beware of an overload of the senses: the sound of songbirds, the sweet scent of honeysuckle, the feel of warm daytime sun and cool evening breezes and the sight of mountains that touch sun, moon and stars commingled with historic sights, museums, amazing cuisine, cultural experiences and exhilarating recreation will leave you breathless! The beauty, the amenities, the ideal location and the friendly atmosphere all together give the area its Nature’s 5 Star Resort reputation. Don’t just take our word for it - come visit, immerse yourself, experience Blacksburg/Christiansburg and the entire area today.
