        Mill Mountain is a mountain just outside of downtown in Roanoke, VA that includes a wide-range of hiking and mountain biking trails. Many of the original trails are "old-school" multi-use mountain bike trails, but recent trail expansion has included building a number of mountain-bike-optimized trails, including a "downhill hub" with green, blue, and black jump lines.
