The Uwharrie Mountains are an ancient mountain range located in North Carolina. Formed approximately 500 million years ago, the Uwharries are the oldest mountain range in North America. Thought to have once peaked at some 20,000 feet, erosion has worn the Uwharries to a peak height of 1,050 feet. The mountains give their name to the Uwharrie National Forest.
