There’s nothing like spending the day basking in the beauty of West Virginia, and there’s no better way to do it than by taking a hike. Not all trails are suitable for all hikers, however. Most people will never see the wondrous waterfall along this trail because it’s very strenuous.
To reach Spruce Knob via the Huckleberry Trail, you'll hike just over six miles, and you'll encounter some tough terrain along the way.
The path is rocky and steep, so you'll want to make sure you're wearing hiking boots with good tread and support. During your hike, you'll experience elevation gains of 1,368 feet.
Because this trail is so difficult, many people will never see the beautiful waterfall tucked away in the trees. You'll want to spend some time basking in the beauty of this scenery - a little break will give you the opportunity to catch your breath!
The reward at the end of the trail is this stunning vista. You'll stand at the top of the highest point in West Virginia, at 4,863 feet, and you're certain to feel as though all your effort was well worth it!
