Three Top Mountain in North Carolina is a fantastic, less crowded hiking destination in Ashe County. Three Top, also known as Big Rock, has ten other sub-peaks of varying height, but at its highest, Huckleberry Knob, it stands at 5,020 feet. The trail is about two miles one-way, and quite steep and rocky, with some stream crossings and a final rock scramble. It can also get a little overgrown as you draw closer to the summit, which provides stunning 360-degree views. You can scramble a bit beyond Huckleberry Knob, but caution is required. It’s located on game land, so hikers should be mindful of hunting seasons.
