Last week I went on a 4 day bikepacking tour through the Monogahela Nat For in W. Va. I love this place, temps were a cool 75F/24C. Rain was a factor but I found a gazebo (with electric) where I was able to seek refuge. The roads were very steep, lots of gravel, some paved, some single track. I had my a$$ handed to me. I am always humbled by the 'hills' in this region. My arms actually got a good workout as some downhills were wicked fast with lots of loose stuff. I road on the Canaan Loop rd, Camp 70 Rd, A Frame Rd, Dryfork Rd, Blackwater Canyon trail and numerous jeep trails. One jeep trail include a Dryfork River crossing. I unloaded my gear and carried it across then rolled/carried my bike. My daily miles were fairly low but enjoyment factor was high. I loved talking to the locals out there, quite a few characters.

The Dry Fork of the Cheat. I have hikd, biked and paddled this gem.

Some roads were very steep, some I even walked

A Frame rd actually had a bike repair station!!! It is in the middle of nowhere. This road had some incredible views
