Mill Mountain in Roanoke, Virginia is one of the hottest tourist attractions. There is a man made star on top of the mountain and at one time it was the largest in the world. I think now it is the 2nd largest man made star. It is lit at night in red, white, and blue. There is also a large picnic area and zoo at the top of the mountain. From what I have heard on a clear day you can see for over 60 miles from the top of the mountain. It is absolutely beautiful up there and one of my most favorite places to go.
