  Great state park off the beaten path:
  
  This place is a great for spending an hour or two. There are walking trails through very unique rock formations. I would best describe as a cave without a roof. Everything is above ground but the rock formations feel like they'd fit better underground. Nice views. Nothing else I've encountered that looks like this. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.

  Very down to earth. Lots of skill to build the boardwalk!

  About 45 minutes from The Greenbrier Resort, this is another must-see state park, albeit the main attraction - the boardwalk twisting through the rock formations and wooded area - will take you no more than 30 minutes tops to make it through the entire circuit, even at a slow pace. Only a small portion is HC accessible since this course winds up and down and through a lot of woods and steep hills.
  
  There is no visitor’s center, no refreshment stand, and only one uni-sex toilet swarming with flies that reeked beyond words.
  
  The road leading in is quite narrow. There’s limited parking, so if it’s real busy you may have to run over to Droop Mountain Battleground State Park (10 minutes away) or the wonderful Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Museum home (17 minutes) in Hillsboro and come back.
  
  Lots of picture opportunities here of nature at its weirdest and most wonderful deep in the woods in WV.

  Not crowded and very impressive rock formations. Quite and easy walking on board walk so you can look around and have to watch your step all the time

  Amazing! Just can't imagine how they constructed the extensive boardwalk in and around the rocks. It's a beautiful and unusual area.

  Absolutely beautiful! This natural area consists of a boardwalk that winds through massive rock formations. It is so peaceful! A wonderful break from our fast paced world.

  Another beautiful WV sight to behold. It's only 5 miles from the Droop Mountain overlook, another must if you love beautiful scenery.

  This mystical feeling as you walk the trail. Kids loved it and my wife and I did to.
