Things to Do in Bluemont and Northern Virginia

No matter which season you choose to experience Bluemont, this special piece of paradise, located on the first ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is certain to delight.

Spring brings color and fresh smells to the mountain as flowers and trees come bursting back to life after lying dormant throughout the winter. More than warm weather, spring represents rebirth and renewal for all the animals, plants and crops that create the beautiful Bluemont experience.
