One Of The Most Beautiful Day Hikes In America Is Right Here In West Virginia
One of the best ways to enjoy West Virginia’s natural beauty is to get outdoors and hike through it! Here’s a trail that offers both history and beauty, and the view from the overlook is stunning.
The Maryland Heights Loop Trail is 6.3 miles long. It takes you on a climb of 1,633 feet to a gorgeous overlook.
This trail also offers some Civil War history. Along the trail you'll find what's left of the fortifications the Union soldiers built in 1862. At the summit, you'll find remains of the fort.
