On the way to Spruce Knob, it’s a fine geologic formation to see. Get even closer by taking the hike up there which I believe is about 3 miles but so worth it!
The last time we hiked it, our 3 year old was determined to hike all the way up and he did it! On the way down, he rode on daddy’s shoulders. :-)

Fabulous trails, views and people! Canaan Valley is certainly a natural snow machine in the winter. The elevation and geographic location allow it to receive significant upslope snow (Orographic lift) regularly during the winter! This is why I love coming here. It's only a few hours from the DC area.

One of the two via ferrata experiences on the east coast. With over 1000 ft in elevation, there is suspension bridge that is 150 ft high and 200 ft long. The trip is around 3.5 hrs. long, they also offer full-moon tours as well. There are also 2 escape points if it were to become too difficult for you. A very exciting challenge indeed!
