Featured Review

Wonderful overlooks to the Falls and beyond, and a pleasant stroll on a boardwalk all the way down to the bottom for the main view, as well as the Gentle Trail up above for the ease of access for all. It has a pleasant atmosphere with much beautiful scenery among the many trails as well as a wide range of accommodations and facilities, making it one of the crown jewels of the Monongahela National Forest. I cannot wait to go back to hike Allegheny Trail and the Yellow Birch Trail.
