About Backbone Mountain
Backbone Mountain is Maryland's highest point at 3,360 feet, located near the West Virginia border in Garrett County. The summit area is forested with no views, but the access road provides scenic vistas. The area experiences cooler temperatures and receives significant snowfall in winter.
History
Named for its ridge-like appearance, Backbone Mountain sits in Maryland's mountainous western panhandle. The area was heavily logged in the early 1900s but has since recovered, providing habitat for various Appalachian wildlife species and recreational opportunities.
