Climb Seneca Rocks
Park at the Seneca Rocks visitor parking spot located just off Mountaineer Drive. Take the trail directly across from the lot, cross the bridge over the stream, and follow the trail about one mile until you see a rock stair trail on your left side (Seneca Rocks side). Follow this rock stair trail up until the stairs turn wooden. At the top of these wooden stairs is the first great spot to climb...
Camp at Yokum's Vacationland
With warm weather, we couldn't wait to go camping so we drove a few miles south of us to Yokum's Vacationland to camp in a teepee. It was THE BEST! It was so cold and we forgot our air mattress pump so we ended up car camping but the whole adventure was so awesome. We were the only people camping but the next morning for our hike to Seneca Rocks we met several other hikers and cyclists enjoying...
Seneca Rocks Trail
Seneca Rocks is probably one of the best known landmarks in West Virginia. This iconic formation sits 900 feet above the North Fork River. I highly recommend anyone interested in taking a trip to West Virginia take some time to visit Seneca Rocks. These rock formations are really an amazing site.
The hike from the parking lot is 3 miles out-and-back with a lot of switchbacks and stair cases. T...
Hike to Rohrbaugh Cliffs in Dolly Sods
Rohrbaugh Cliffs is the social name given to the expansive views found along the Rohrbaugh Plains Trail. This easy hike in the Dolly Sods Wilderness will take you to one of the best overlooks in the area. For a longer or more challenging hike, connect this trail with one of the many others in the area. The trail begins off Fire Road 19, just past the Dolly Sods picnic area. There is a small ...
Hike to Chimney Rock in the Monongahela National Forest
Chimney Rock (also referred to as Chimney Top) is a hidden gem in the Monongahela National Forest that offers some of the best views in the state of West Virginia. There are several trail options that pass this overlook, including a 24 mile point-to-point backpack of the North Fork Mountain Trail, but this adventure details the hike via the Landis Trail off of Smoke Hole Road. This is the sho...
Spruce Knob Observation Tower
Driving to the top of Spruce Mountain is perhaps the most difficult part of the journey. Once at the top of Spruce Mountain, park and head south along a short, 0.2 mile long trail that leads to the official state highpoint of Spruce Knob. Be sure to find the USGS marker near the base of the observation tower off to the left side of the gravel trail, anchored in cement. The observation tower at ...
