The Scenic Highway is a 43-mile highway in Pocahontas County. We will make a quick stop at the Cranberry Nature Center (if open) to walk through their small museum and look over the valley to the south. Then the fun starts: first stop - Black Mountain Overlook\, a 600 foot long boardwalk. Next - check out geologic formations at the ¼-mile Honeycomb Rock Trail. Finally - the real hiking of this adventure will be Red Spruce Knob Trail\, a total of 2.4 miles. Elevation gain is 380 feet to the highest point on the Scenic Highway at 4703 feet. The moss-covered stand of red spruce is magical. Return to civilization in Marlinton\, where we can check out a little of the Greenbrier River Trail\, rest and snack! \n\nMeet at the Hollowell Park lot on GMS Drive in Lewisburg at 9:00 a.m. to carpool/caravan. A small contribution for gas ($3-$4) is appreciated but not necessary. Whether you plan to meet there or at the nature center\, contact the leader ON THIS PAGE ahead of time for planning. Depending on number of hikers\, additional drivers may be needed. Here is the FB page: \n https://www.facebook.com/groups/1367844966948468 It is public\, so you should be able to send a message.
