Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy, this new 9th edition of the treasured guide to every taril in the Monongahela National Forest features brand-new topographic maps and Kent Mason’s gorgeous photos, all in color.

This guide has been updated with the cooperation of National Forest District Rangers and Recreation Specialists, to reflect changes in the past ten years:

This book also covers four wilderness areas with a total of 77,965 acres and 21,300 acres of semi-wilderness zones. With over 200 hiking trails for more than 700 miles of prime hiking this book is an essential for all hikers.

West Virginia, the Mountain State, lies completely within the Appalachian Mountain system of peaks, knobs, hills, glades and valleys. In the state’s east are parallel mountain ridges from the southwest to the northeast. On these ridges and in the gorges and valleys between them are nearly a million acres of the magnificent Monongahela National Forest. The purchase of this land began in 1915, and each day since, the “Mon” has become more of a natural treasure. It’s wild and scenic expanse is enhanced with its eastern boundary adjoining the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests.

In this preistine domain are spectacular landmarks that include waterfalls, windswept but wildflowering balds, precipitous cliffsides, black bear sanctuaries, caverns, bogs with wild orchids, dark green groves of conifers, streams and rivers.

Throughout this natural heritage are many hiking trails, all described in this 7th edition of Monongahela National Forest Hiking Guide, the Mon’s most comprehensive guide on the market. It covers:

– instructions on how to use the guide,

– hiking and backpacking safely,

– more than 200 trails covering over 700 miles,
