MONONGAHELA NATIONAL FOREST IN WEST VIRGINIA

These photos come from my son and daughter-in-law.  This past weekend they were invited on a 17-mile hike by her brother, with overnight camping.  I thoroughly enjoyed their photos and they said I could share, with my heartfelt thanks.

Here you can see them looking at Seneca Rocks.  

There won't be a lot of narrative in my post today but I hope you will enjoy their photos as much as I did.

In the Seneca Creek Backcountry, there are nearly 60 miles of trails winding through stands of red spruce, open meadows and along fast-flowing mountain streams.




Great Guide here to hiking in this area.






One of those magical moments when a mother came to get her baby.  The little one jumped out of its hiding spot. 
Seneca Falls




From yesterday's post.
My daughter-in-law's brother is a seasoned hiker and camper, and was able to give a lot of great advice.
They set their tents up next to a stream.

Bunchberry dogwood.  It goes by several names.  Creeping dogwood, Pudding berry being a couple.

Mountain laurel, also known as Spoonwood, Calico bush, Ivy bush.

They had a wonderful time and will be doing this all over again in the not too distant future.  And I will be getting more great photos to share.
