The Brush Mountain Wilderness is an area protected by Act of Congress (Eastern Wilderness Act) to maintain its present, natural condition. As part of the wilderness system, it helps to preserve a variety of natural life forms and contributes to a diversity of plant and animal gene pools. [2] The wilderness is adjacent to Brush Mountain East Wilderness.[3]
Although it is located next to the suburbs of Blacksburg, Virginia, Brush Mountain is unexpectedly secluded. The area looks out to the northwest across Craig Creek to the slopes of Sinking Creek Mountain.[1]
The area is part of the Craig Creek Cluster.
