Trimble and Sounding Knobs
To the right and front sits Trimble Knob (3120'), the plug of an ancient volcano, at 50 million years, it is the youngest volcano in Virginia and perhaps the East. One recent study suggests it may be as young as 35 millions years old. The high point in the distance is Sounding Knob on Jack Mountain, elevation 4360'. This was taken just outside of Monterey on October 21, 2006.
