Pores Knob is the highest point of the Brushy Mountains chain. The Brushy Mountains are a deeply eroded spur of the much larger Blue Ridge Mountains. The summit of Pores Knob is only Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level, yet the mountain stands prominently above the surrounding countryside, rising close to Script error: No such module "convert". above its base.[1]
Geographical location
The mountain itself is nearly unconnected to any other peak in the Brushy Mountains, and could thus be considered a monadnock, or isolated mountain peak. A rough gravel road leads to the mountain's summit, which is devoid of trees but does contain several radio towers. From the summit a person can see up to Script error: No such module "convert". on a clear day, and can view a large portion of the Appalachian Mountain range in North Carolina, several of the highest mountains in the state of Virginia, and the skyline of Charlotte, North Carolina, approximately Script error: No such module "convert". to the south. The mountain shares its name with a small farming community which surrounds the peak.
