This is the view from the summit of Mt. Davis, the highest point in the state. Actually, from the summit itself, you can't see anything except the trees that surround you. It doesn't feel like a ridgeline at all. This photo was taken from the top of the tower that rises above the treetops.
It's a pleasant, wooded area. The pinnacle itself is protected in a "natural area" within a segment of the Forbes State Forest. There's a good network of trails and some decent views in places. Here's a shot of the well-known Deer Valley Lake as well as High Point Lake--both to the west of the mountain. You can't really call Mt. Davis a mountain, as such. It's just a patch of woods that stands at 3,213 feet above sea level. It's actually part of a meandering stretch of highlands known locally as Negro Mountain. Geography is frequently so racial in its epithets.
