The trail features significant elevation changes with ample switchbacks to ease approach. The hike rewards with excellent views of surrounding area. I returned on the cliff climb approach, which was almost directly downhill. Would not recommend without trekking poles.

The best 360 degree view when you get to the top. They say it’s Almost Heaven but up there it is Heaven.

Difficult hike with no apparent fresh water source. Amazing views and light traffic make the steep climbs and sketchy overgrown sections of the trail worth it. I did this as an out and back so total distance would have been a little over 15 miles in two days.

Great day hike sandwiched between backpacking into Judy Springs camping area at Spruce Knob National Recreation Area. Hike up to highest point in the state of WV for lunch and then down to Seneca Falls before returning to the campsite.

Seneca rocks is beautiful! We hiked up the back off Roy Gap Rd and down the front. An excellent circuit, though the hike up the back was very steep and rocky. We hiked with kids age 7-13.

Overall a really fun hike. Some parts are a bit overgrown and muddy.

This is trail’s incline is grueling but if you can make it to the top then the view is worth it. The trip back down was a fraction of the time it took to get up there. If you’re up for it go past the ‘danger’ signs at the observation deck for an even better but dangerous view.

This hike is vigorous and enjoyable, steep in some stretches but not too severe. Lots of friendly families getting exercise like you. Path is very well tended and easy to follow. When you get to the top you can’t really see the great rocks above unless you go up passed the warning sign about 15 people dying over the past years.
