WV Glamping Domes

Lodge

👍👍 We stayed at The Manor and had family meet up from across a few states. The location was perfect, easy access but quiet in the woods.

👍 I don't make it to CNC very often any more due to physical limitations but this place is amazing and I'm hoping it is still well hiked!! Red wing trail!! Not 5 stars because the aforementioned trail is ALWAYS muddy! Bring old shoes and you'll have a blast!

Miller Nature Sanctuary

Nature preserve

👍👍 What a delightful set of trails! You have three to choose from, I actually recommend all three and in total we ended up at about 2.8 miles round trip to the main parking area by the road. Rocky Fork Creek runs by much of it, you are in the canopy with tons of wildlife, if you look closely in the pi...

Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve

Nature preserve

👍 It’s a nice place, there are some very nice views on a few of the trails. It can get crowded on a weekend, so come early for parking. If you hike from the main parking lot, take the red and yellow trails that branch off, those are the best. The Marie Hickey trail is also one of the better trails. Th...
