The Dolly Sods Wilderness is certainly a little treasure in the Eastern mountains of West Virginia. I have never been to an area with such diversity. It was a bit difficult to capture it all in a photo, as it felt it was a melting pot of various eco systems all mixed into one.
Temps were a bit on the colder side....Andrew & I stayed warm in the tent, but our water had ice on it in the morning!! But that didn't stop us from our 17 ish mile hike! The trail was pretty rocky, so it was difficult to move fast, but that just added to the beauty of the day.
Parts of the trail reminded me of tundra in AK, while others felt like a birch then pine forest.....The river with its cascading water rocks was just amazing.....Doing this hike as overnight would have been AWESOME. Lots of really good camping spots along the way....especially down by the river!! Thanks to those who suggested this area to me!! Certainly a worthy adventure!
