Little Brushy Mountain

About

Little Brushy Mountain is a summit of 3,551 feet in the Warm Springs Ranger District of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest in Virginia, about 1.6 miles from the town of Hot Springs. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hot Springs show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 74°F, with October highs near 64°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Several trails start close by. Little Mare Mountain is about 0.9 miles away, and Salt Pond Ridge and Brushy Ridge Trail are each about 2.1 miles off. For an overnight base, Blowing Springs campground lies about 7 miles away.
