The Roanoke Star and Mill Mountain, Virginia, October 2016

The Roanoke Star has crested Mill Mountain more than 1,000 feet above the city since 1949.  It is visible for 60 miles, and results in Roanoke’s nickname as the “Star City.”

The views of the Roanoke Valley from the mountain’s crown are breathtaking.
