Along with FlatTop and Harkening Hill, these “Peaks of Otter” were a populargathering spot for prehistoric Indians, a stopover for troops duringthe Civil War, and an early Blue Ridge tourist destination.Thomas Jefferson wrote about the Peaks in “Notes on the Stateof Virginia,” his only published book. “The height of our mountainshas not been estimated with any degree of exactness,” headmitted, but nevertheless described them as perhaps the highestmountains in North America. Jefferson obviously was not awareof many other much higher peaks scattered throughout just theAppalachians. Robert E. Lee rendezvoused here with his daughterfor a vacation in 1867 during his time as president of nearbyWashington College, now Washington & Lee University.A climb to the summit of Sharp Top from the Parkway north ofRoanoke gives a commanding view of the mountains and the rollingPiedmont of the Old Dominion.31
