Massanutten Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Massanutten Mountain is a mountain range in the United States that runs down the center of the Shenandoah Valley from approximately Shenandoah County, Virginia in the North, to its highest peak in Rockingham County in the South.
On the Eastern side of the mountain range lies the Page Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. On the Western side lies the North-Central Shenandoah Valley and Allegheny Mountains. In 1971, the Massanutten Mountain ski lodge and four season resort village was created on the peak. The private resort has nearly doubled in size since Great Eastern Resorts bought it in 1995.
Some of the wildlife that occurs on Massanutten includes black bear, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, and luna moths. Some of the plant life includes mayapple, bluets, wild lupine, cardinal flower, and pinxter flower.
