Title
SR044 Twelve O'Clock Knob
Description
One of the most prominent geographical features in the Roanoke Valley is Twelve O’Clock Knob with an altitude of 2,707 feet. According to local tradition, the mountain received its name prior to the Civil War when slaves, working west of Salem, determined it to be noon and time for lunch when the sun was just at a point directly over the mountain.
