About

Chalk Mountain is a summit in Virginia, about 4 miles from the small community of North Garden. Fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Charlottesville show October highs around 66°F and lows near 50°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. For a walk in the area, Chalk Mountain Trail starts about 2 miles away. Moses Mountain Trail and Appleberry Mountain Trail are each about 3 miles out. Paddlers can head to the Mechums River, roughly 5 miles away.
