#5 Carter’s Mountain
If you want a stunning view of the Charlottesville area, Historic Carter’s Mountain is the place to go. There are many reasons to visit Carter’s Mountain, but the best is the Apple Harvest Festival. Plan a few hours for this trip because there is only one windy road in and one road out. The cider, fritters, fresh apples, and pumpkins make the trip enjoyable, but the views are worth the trip. At other times of the year you can pick peaches and nectarines.
One of the best views in town, but quite a trip to the top of the mountain and a challenge but worth it.
Welcome to Apple country, and the picking is good at this orchard. Also watch for other apple orchards around town, and peaches, and fresh fruit. Welcome to Virginia Country!!!!!
