Hike

One of the best ways to see this place and truly appreciate it is to slow down take a walk in the woods. The Cranberry Wilderness and Monongahela National Forest are home to so many incredible landscapes, plants, and animals. While there are miles and miles of trails worth walking, we have picked out a few of our favorites and shared them below.

High Rocks

This mostly flat trail(only a few steep sections) takes you to an incredible 180 degree view of the Stamping Creek watershed. It is a must-see!
