Tips from locals
Dolly Sods is a unique natural area with a climate and setting more like that of Canada than West Virginia. See information in the notebook that describes this area better than we can. Our favorite part of Dolly Sods is the Bear Rocks area, although there are many trails there we have not yet visited. In late July and early August you can pick wild blueberries all day long at Bear Rocks. From the cabin, follow the directions to Seneca Rocks, then take Rte 28 north for another 10 minutes or so before turning left on the road into Dolly Sods. See brochure in notebook for local roads in the area. The drive to Dolly Sods takes a little over an hour, but it’s worth it.

The Dolly Sods Wilderness — originally simply Dolly Sods — is a U.S. Wilderness Area in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, US, and is part of the Monongahela National Forest (MNF) of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Dolly Sods is a rocky, high-altitude plateau with sweeping vistas and lifeforms normally found much farther north in Canada. To the north, the distinctive landscape of "the Sods" is characterized by stunted ("flagged") trees, wind-carved boulders, heath barrens, grassy meadows created in the last century by logging and fires, and sphagnum bogs that are much older. To the south, a dense cove forest occupies the branched canyon excavated by the North Fork of Red Creek.
