Clinch Mountain is a mountain ridge in Tennessee and Virginia, lying in the ridge-and-valley section of the Appalachian Mountains. It runs in a general east-northeasterly direction from near Blaine, Tennessee to Garden Mountain near Burke's Garden, Virginia. It separates the Clinch River basin to the north from the Holston River basin to the south.
    Clinch Mountain is a long ridge with numerous curves. Its north-south extent is 97 miles and east-west, 172 miles. Due to its size, it is sometimes called a mountain range or complex. According to www.peakbagger.com, Clinch Mountain Complex includes the sub-range of Knob Mountain, as well as four high point summits above 4,000 feet (Beartown Mountain, Flattop Mountain, Morris Knob, and Chimney Rock Peak). ~ Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinch_Mountain
