US State Highpointing: Black Mountain, highest point in Kentucky
Black Mountain is the highest point in Kentucky, with an elevation of 4,145 feet. It is situated in Harlan County, Kentucky, near the border with Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. The region around Black Mountain has a long history of coal mining. The mountain itself contains rich coal deposits, and coal mining has been a significant economic activity in the area for many years. The environmental impact of coal mining on Black Mountain and its surrounding areas has been a subject of concern for some. Mountaintop removal mining has been used in the region. Efforts have been made to balance economic development through mining with the preservation of the natural environment around Black Mountain. Conservation groups and government agencies have been involved in initiatives to protect the mountain and its ecosystems. The area's natural beauty and outdoor activities attract tourists and outdoor enthusiasts who come to explore the Appalachian wilderness. It's well known for outdoor recreational activities including ATV and dirt bike riding, as well as hiking and camping.
When we went to climb the mountain, there was still a permit system in place. This is no longer the case. The state now owns the summit and does not require a waiver to climb to the peak.
