Another Scout trip to Dolly Sods - this time for winter hiking and camping. Access is only from the Canaan Valley side, as the forest roads from the east are closed.
About a 1000 foot climb before reaching Cabin Mountain Trail
Camp site on the ridge overlooking the Canaan Valley - but set back from the spring pictures above to get out of the wind.
Another 3 inches overnight. Hike out as the storm clouds start coming in
Home actually got more snow than Dolly Sods. Slow going and vehicle problems (yes - the Sprinter also) resulted in a late drop-off. But school cancelled - so no one was unhappy about missing study time.
