Dolly Sods Wilderness Area is located in the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia. The ecosystem in this area is much more common to the North, such as Canada, so going to Dolly Sods gives visitors a mini-vacation within their visit. There are over 45 miles of trails in Dolly Sods, though there are many restrictions because of its preservation status. Groups of ten or more are prohibited, and those who want to camp must follow strict guidelines for the area. There is a ton to do though, such as hunting, picnicking, biking, fishing, and even climbing. Take note that many activities require you to leave Dolly Sods Wilderness Area and go elsewhere in the forest.
