Spruce Knob, the West Virginia High Point


back

The West Virginia highpoint is well developed, with a good gravel parking lot, latrines, and signs pointing you to the path to the highpoint and its stone observation tower.

The day we were there, the tower was being sandblasted and cleaned up, so the path was blocked a few yards short of the base of the tower.

After the obligatory summit photo, we found the interesting wildflower below. Almost looks like a miniature Christmas tree, doesn't it?
