Peak?
[edit]In this article the peak is listed as 2789 ft, but Big Schloss is 2964 ft. Is it okay to update this page to reflect that, or am I wrong? Thanks. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 12:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- It looks like Big Schloss is indeed part of Great North Mountain, so I'd go ahead with the change. Brian Powell (talk) 14:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Peakbagger calls Great North Mountain a range, with 3,293-ft Mill Mountain as its highest point. GNIS also calls it a range, with half a dozen IDs. The topo map shows it extending SW to about Rockingham County, VA, where the ridge changes name to Church Mountain.

- That's some good info, but then the question is, should we change the article to make it a range instead of a mountain? See Talk:Big_Schloss for more info, though it was never resolved. Perhaps we should contact the USFS.
- If someone wants to change or revert my edit, I will take no offense. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 15:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- I made the change according to the PeakBagger link.
- I just did the Big Schloss hike.. The high point seems to be where that old run down cabin was (not the PATC one, the one on the Orange Mill Mtn trail after we turned). There was a structure in the back that I thought may have been a power thing but I guess it could've been an Airway beacon too. It does seem a little weird that that peak is appx 300 ft more than the top of Big Schloss.. I know we did descend a bit on the Mill Mountain before coming to Big Schloss, but you also gain before coming to the peak and then of course on the spur trail to the lookout.
- Also I am making some changes to the article based on info in the PATC guide to Great North Mountain trails. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 01:57, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
