Starting from Windy Saddle Trailhead, the Seven Devils loop cirques the Seven Devils Peaks (He Devil, She Devil, Devils Throne, Tower of Babel, The Ogre to name a few) for a scenic tour of the Hells Canyon wilderness. The popular backpacking route, even more epic as a run, features alpine lakes, rocky ridgelines, talus fields and open savannas of ponderosa pine that give way to larch and fir forests at higher elevations. Multiple seasons of forest fires have reshaped the landscape, and there’s evidence of different stages of recovery everywhere you look.

The best of West Virginia! 

Dollysods is an incredibly magical place that will take you through gassy meadows, rocky plains, spruce and hardwood forests and sphagnum bogs all in one loop. You are guaranteed to get lost at least once and the terrain, although devoid of much elevation, is unforgiving and can be quite technical.  

You are guaranteed to have an adventure through this beautiful land. This route is a must do in the area and guaranteed to make you fall in love with West Virginia.
