Uncomplicated and enjoyable, hiking is a pastime you can do almost anywhere. A day trip away from West Virginia’s capital of Charleston, or a short drive from Virginia's transportation hub of Roanoke, get out and have some fun along the Highland Scenic Highway.
Highland Scenic Highway Overview

Sep 18, 2003

Travel through a wild and undeveloped portion of the Monongahela National Forest on the Highland Scenic Highway in West Virginia. When you stop at any of the four scenic overlooks along the Byway, you will encounter a stunning view of the Allegheny Highlands. See rolling, mountainous terrain covered by hardwood forests and capped by dark spruce at higher elevations. This view is one you won't want to miss, especially during the fall season when the mountains are ablaze with color. Hidden within this panoramic view, you'll find plenty of places to visit and things to do.
