It is located at the juncture of Grayson, Smyth, and Washington Counties, and is also within the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area of the Jefferson National Forest. Whitetop was the location of the White Top Folk Festival from 1932 to 1939, with the exception of 1937. Like nearby Mount Rogers, it represents an ecological "island" of flora and fauna commonly found much farther north than Virginia, such as old growth red spruce and other northern softwoods. Whitetop Mountain is within a conservation area of the same name.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger |pid=7798 |name=Whitetop Mountain, Virginia}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.virginia.org/listings/OutdoorsAndSports/whitetopmountain/|title=Whitetop Mountain|website=www.virginia.org|access-date=2016-07-22}} 3. ^Virginia's Mountain Treasures, report issued by The Wilderness Society, May, 1999 External links{{commonscat|Whitetop Mountain (Virginia)}}
