The Hiking Trail Hiding In West Virginia That Will Transport You To Another World
Bear Rocks Preserve in West Virginia offers unique hiking experiences with rare plants, wind-carved boulders, and stunning views.
There are plenty of amazing places to hike in the Mountain State, but one of the most fascinating spots is the Bear Rocks Preserve in Grant and Tucker counties. Here you'll find rare plants, stunted trees, wind-carved boulders, and a climate that's more similar to Canada than most of West Virginia.
Some of the most interesting landscapes in West Virginia can be found at the Bear Rocks Preserve.
The Bear Rocks trail leads to high elevations above the Canaan Valley.
On the cold and windy plateau, trees are often stunted.
Branches are broken by te wind, creating a "flagged" appearance on evergreens.
Sandstone rock is exposed to the elements and laid out in intriguing formations.
From the top of the ridge, you can see deep into the valley below, and on a clear day, you can even see all the way into Virginia.
