Paris Mountain is the local name for the highest peak of the Blue Ridge Mountain on the border of Loudoun County and Clarke County in Virginia. The 1,926 feet (587 m) peak, which is located just north of Ashby's Gap and the town of Paris, for which it is named, represents the highest elevation in both counties. The peak is accessible by Blue Ridge Mountain Road from the gap. The Appalachian Trail is crosses the western slope of the peak.
