It was our 3rd high point in a day (05.26.07) as we arrived at the Monongahela National Forest and West Virginia's Spruce Knob at 4,861 feet. It was getting late in the day as we drove up the forest road to ths summit which has an observation tower. It was a nice warm day as we walked to the top from the carpark to the observation tower which gave a decent view. It took us a while to find the USGS marker near the tower, and we followed it with a very short side hike through the woods (I even saw a deer!) back to the car. We then drove 15 minutes to the Seneca Shadows Campground which is a beautiful campground in the Spruce-knob Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. This was a great place to stay, with its great views of the 900 foot Seneca Rocks known for its fantastic rock climbing (and was a great hike up which we did the next day) and lots of hikes in the area. We chilled out for 2 days which was nice before moving on.
