Black Mountains

The Black Mountains refer to several mountain ranges around the world, most notably in Wales and the United States. In Wales, they are part of the Brecon Beacons National Park and are known for their striking dark peaks and rich biodiversity. The name comes from the area’s dense woodlands and heaths. In the U.S., the Black Mountains in North Carolina are known for their rugged terrain and high elevation, including peaks like Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi River. Both locations are popular for hiking, wildlife observation, and natural beauty.
