Story:
Great over-nighter in WV/VA. Old growth forest, beaver dams, wetlands, Rhododendrum groves, and Brown Trout. Not much elevation gain, but a tough hike.

Tips:
This is a deceiving hike. Don't let the elevation gain fool you. The trail along Bearwallow Run and Buck Run is barely marked in most spots and very overgrown with Rhododendrum. Be prepared to squat-walk through a good portion of Buck Run. Of the 3 camp spots on Buck Run, the second is the best. You'll need to take a swim in the deep pool after this hike.
