There are so many beautiful places to visit on Liberty’s campus that you might miss something during a quick visit. But one site you won’t be able to miss is the LU Monogram on Liberty Mountain. Visible from virtually any spot in Lynchburg, the monogram stretches 3 acres and offers spectacular panoramic views of the city, Blue Ridge Mountains, and campus. Regarded as one of the best sunset spots in Lynchburg, the site is also a favorite for picnics for students and families. Hikers enjoy the peaceful resting spot as they make their trek along the Liberty Mountain Trail System. (The monogram is accessible from Monogram Road at the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre or from the Dirty Ridge Trail at Snowflex that leads to the Peak to Peak Trail.)
Originally constructed in 2007, the monogram received a facelift in 2022 to match Liberty’s branding, with rocks stained in LU’s classic red, white, and blue. RGB lighting was also added, so the monogram can be lit up in different colors for holidays, special events, and in celebration of a Flames victory. Current plans call for a new gazebo at the site.
