>>2022976What? It is THE most popular fall hike in the potomac highlands for views. It has been that way for some time now. It is my goal hike for this upcoming fall. There are other views that are as nice but are much harder to find. It seems you could possible summit cave mountain (one ridge east of north fork) and get amazing views but I'm not sure how you would access it and there's private property involved.
North Fork Mountain is far from being a secret.
