The close proximity of the Highland Scenic Highway means that you have very easy access to hike or climb Red Spruce Knob, one of the highest peaks of the Allegheny Mountains in West Virginia. The Red Spruce Knob trails will lead hikers though some very attractive wooded scenery, which is home to many bird varieties as well as to the endangered Virginia flying squirrel. You can hike the trail all year round and in winter you can try some forest skiing. Visitors who would like to spend a few days in the area can set up camp at the Tea Creek or Day Run campsites or try some primitive backcountry camping.
