Whitetop is a small community located in SW Virginia and is nestled between two mountains, Whitetop Mountain to the north and Pond Mountain to the south. At 5,520 feet, Whitetop is second highest (independent) elevation to only Mt. Rogers in Virginia, and the highest elevation accessible to vehicles.  

Our community has a rich history of social events and opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. From the music festivals of the 30s (including a special appearance by Eleanor Roosevelt), to the Virginia Creeper railroad station, to the annual Maple Festival, and our huge Christmas tree industry, Whitetop has been a year-round vacation destination for more than 100 years. The area offers many opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, including hiking, camping, fishing, Grayson Highlands, the Virginia Creeper Trail (VCT) rails-to-trails biking experience, and the recently opened gravel traverse.
