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 ...
Camp at Red Creek Campground
Beginning your hikes from the Red Creek Campground gives you plenty of good options. For day hikers there is parking at the signed trailheads and for those who want to call the Campground home for a few days the campsites are nice and spaced out so you don't feel like you're sharing your tent space with strangers.One of the attractions to hiking in the Sods is the scenic pay off found on trail....
Dolly Sods Wilderness North Loop via Rocky Ridge Trail
The hike begins at the "Dolly Sods Trailhead Parking" location easily found on Google Maps. The lot is big enough for about 6-8 vehicles.
Begin walking at the end of the gravel parking lot/road for about 0.5 miles until you enter the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area in a small grassy field where several trails begin and are well marked. The North loop is famous for several reasons one being the Rock...
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...

If you're up for a cold weather adventure, park your car (in accordance with the signage and without blocking the road) and hike up the Forest Road 75 near Davis, WV, to Bear Rocks Preserve. Come after a recent snowfall and you'll be in for a beautiful sight, so bring a ...
Backpack the North Fork Mountain Trail & Chimney Top
One of my favorite hikes in West Virginia, since the whole ridge is full of views.
Backpacking the North Fork Mountain Trail is about 24.7 miles in total and a challenging hike but with relentless views. In my opinion, the best West Virginia has to offer. Summertime backpacking the whole the NFMT is hard, no water on the trail so either you spot water ahead of time or you have to carry extra w...
