Description
The Peaks of Otter are three mountain peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountains, overlooking the town of Bedford, Virginia, which lies nine miles (14 km) to the southeast along State Route 43. These peaks are Sharp Top, Flat Top, and Harkening Hill. Peaks of Otter is a major developed area along the Parkway that has a lodge and family activites, and today it is a living history farm during the summer. The Lodge, located at milepost 86, features comfortable rooms, & fine dining, This painting is of Sharp Top mountain. Theories for the naming of the Peaks of Otter include the anglicizing of the Cherokee word "Otari" meaning "high places" or the naming of the mountains after the Otter River, which starts nearby and presumably got named for otters downstream. Location: Bedford / Botetourt counties, Virginia, Elevation: Sharp Top 3,875 feet. Parent range: Blue Ridge Mountains
