🍂 Tackle one of West Virginia’s most breathtaking fall hikes- the Monongahela National Forest’s North Fork Mountain Trail in Grant County. Stretching 24 miles end-to-end, the 5.5-mile out-and-back section to Chimney Top rewards hikers with miles of sweeping views along a rugged rocky ridgeline- easily one of the best day hikes in the mountain state 💙⛰️💛 🥾 Expect a strenuous climb with nearly 2,000 feet of elevation gain, but every step unveils jaw-dropping overlooks and fiery fall color panoramas. For mountain bikers, the technical downhill sections are pure adrenaline 🚴 💧Water sources are scarce along the ridge, so pack extra water and follow Leave No Trace ethics, especially if camping ⛺️ 🚙 Only a 3 hours drive from D.C. the North Fork Mountain Trail puts you within striking distance of other incredible national forest, destinations, including Seneca Rocks, Smoke Hole Canyon, and Dolly Sods Wilderness 🌲 🏘️ The historic town of Petersburg makes an ideal basecamp — grab a latte at Grove Coffee Shop, browse South Side Studios Art Gallery, and explore Fort Mulligan Civil War Battlefield before or after your hike. ##westvirginia##mountainviews##fallhikes

My son and I hiked the trail to Chimney Top, and man oh man was it ever tough. Payoff was sensational view's and accomplishing the challenge. Make sure you're hydrated with not only water but electrolytes also. While my son is 26 and in tip top, I'm 66 and even though I walk alot it still didn't prepare me for this. But we did it👊🙏✌️
