Day 4 Monongahela National Forest

This would be the first day my friend would join me on a hike. I chose for us to hike up to Spruce Knob. This hike would be 11.2 miles and ascending and descending over 1300 feet. We would follow the Huckleberry Trail.  This is the highest peak in the Mountaineer State, being 4,863 feet.


Looking back, I do regret we did not go to a better vantage point that day to get better views.  The constant climb up was challenging but not too strenuous so that it was unbearable.  You do have to really concentrate on where you step 70% of the time due to exposed roots and displaced rocks.

The way down was the same but with the assistance of gravity lol it was easier.
