Blue Ridge Mountains
The Blue Ridge Mountains are a physiographic province of the larger Appalachian Mountains range. The Blue Ridge Mountains are noted for having a bluish color when seen from a distance. Trees put the "blue" in Blue Ridge, from the isoprene released into the atmosphere, thereby contributing to the characteristic haze on the mountains and their distinctive color.

Black Mountains
The Black Mountains are a mountain range in western North Carolina, part of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. They are the highest mountains in the Eastern United States. The range takes its name from the darker spruce-fir forest on the upper slopes which contrasts with the brown or lighter green appearance of the deciduous trees at lower elevations.

South Mountains
The South Mountains are an ancient and deeply eroded mountain range in western North Carolina. They are an isolated remnant of the much larger Appalachian Mountains to the west, and are separated from the Appalachians by the Catawba River valley. The highest point in the range is Buzzard Roost, which rises to 2,980 feet (908 m) above sea level.
