Corcaigh Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Looking to spend a week or so in WV - kids are interested in rock climbing, hiking and running (ideally forest trails/fire roads that can be run hard without concerns over twisted ankles - I have HS XC runner who needs to get his miles in while we're away and at least some flat areas would be nice). Once we find a good general location we'll look for a decent place to rent on vrbo.com We've enjoyed Senecca Rocks before. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhlipOut Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 check out The Woods. it's in hedgesville. 2 great golf courses as well.http://www.thewoods.com/?gclid=COX7oaet7aECFUJx5QodBxuEUA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 You might also check the Blackwater Falls/Canaan Valley area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 http://www.coopersrockstateforest.com/ Coopers Rock State Forest. You can hike and run and climb. You can camp there if you want or Morgantown is like 15 minutes away on I-68 and they have plenty of hotels, plus some pretty good dining and other stuff to do. I'm sure you could find a kegger if you wanted. :chug: Edit: If you look under the events tab, looks like they are holding a half marathon in July. Even if you don't want to go to that, at least you know that they have the right kind of surface to get in the miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 You might also check the Blackwater Falls/Canaan Valley area. always a sure bet. corcaigh, check this site: http://www.wvstateparks.com/ you can check out all the parks, what they offer, and you can make reservations, etc. **i'm assuming you've done harpers ferry before** i've never done cass scenic railroad, but plan on doing it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 And just throwing it out there- have you given any thought to the Great Smokies NP? It would be about 8 hours by car- so, might be too far. But would definitely have everything you're looking for However, I think there is no more beautiful place in this country. (the park itself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
