Blue Ridge Mountain is noticeably lower in elevation than other sections of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. The southern section of the mountain contains the highest peaks and the ridge gradually loses elevation as it gets closer to the Potomac. Elevations in the gaps are typically around 1,000 feet (300 m) while peaks range from 1,200 feet (370 m) to 2,100 feet (640 m). Across the Potomac the ridge continues as Elk Ridge in Maryland.
