Day and Overnight Hikes in West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest

The heart and soul of wild, wonderful West Virginia, the 900,000-acre Monogahela National Forest is a natural getaway for outdoor enthusiasts of every kind. But the best way to see all 'the Mon' has to offer remains by foot. You'll agree with every footfall under the forest's stately cherry trees, passing through valleys of rhododendron where waterfalls roar among misted woodlands. Each trail description offers commentary on what to expect along the way and rates each hike for scenery, trail condition, difficulty, accessibility for children and solitude. Easily carried in your pocket, this book provides directions to more than 30 day hikes and 10 overnight hikes in the Monongahela National Forest. Some classic hikes are included, like High Falls and Seneca Rocks, but most will steer you off the beaten path - where you'll find more solitude and infrequently visited sights. The exceptional beauty and peace of mind found on these hikes just can't be experienced from a climate-controlled automobile.
