The Table Rock Trail Might Be One Of The Most Beautiful Short-And-Sweet Hikes To Take In West Virginia

We get it – you don’t always feel like dedicating an entire day to one hike. Though the Mountain State certainly has some incredible longer hikes, it also boasts some short and sweet adventures you can enjoy on a whim. With its sweeping panoramic vistas and lush greenery, Table Rock is one such place.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!
