There’s nothing like spending the day basking in the beauty of West Virginia, and there’s no better way to do it than by taking a hike. Not all trails are suitable for all hikers, however. Most people will never see the wondrous waterfall along this trail because it’s very strenuous.
To reach Spruce Knob via the Huckleberry Trail, you’ll hike just over six miles, and you’ll encounter some tough terrain along the way.
