The photo that is posted is not of Mt Rogers. Mt Rogers has a gentle, forested summit, not a bare, rocky one. The photo looks like one of the rock outcroppings that are at least a mile from the summit. Could somebody substitute a photo that is less misleading? 128.173.49.45 ( talk) 20:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

This article attributes the loss of the spruce fir forests on Mt Rogers to increasing temperature, and a drier environment. Possible so, but elsewhere (Great Smoky Mountains), the loss of the Frazier fir is attributed to the balsam woolly adelgid which killed 95% of the Frasier firs over the past decade. I would guess that this is the cause of the loss fir on Mt. Rogers as well. 23:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Northenmost extent of southern Spruce-fir Forest
What about Beartown north of Saltville and Balsam Beartown Mountain at the NW Corner of Burkes Garden? Those are Spruce-Fir forests too. Are you saying those include the southernmost extent of Balsam and not then Northernmost extent of Fraiser Firs? 107.4.166.57 ( talk) 19:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
I just reverted Famartin's move of this article to Mount Rogers (Virginia), per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Let's discuss whether this article is the primary topic: that is, whether it is "highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term".
The evidence that this is a primary topic includes:
I think these data show that the peak in Virginia is much more likely than the peak in Australia to be the topic sought in searches. What do other editors think? — hike395 ( talk) 14:45, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
