"Second day of our 2023 Easter objectives. Seneca Rocks, WV was the first of 3 objectives that day - leaving Blackwater Falls, WV early. We stopped later in Spruce Knob, then on into Shenandoah (Bearfance Mountain Trail). Seneca was great, it was overcast in the morning - we ate at a strange hostile/diner called the Breakfast Nook that only took cash and had foreign women showering in the loft overhead (the shower was leaking). We ascended Seneca, climbed into the rocks and I was able to fly 1 battery pack on my drone before the FC got loose and it started misbehaving. We descended behind the rocks, very steep descent (tough on the knees). We made it back to the car and off to Spruce Knob we went." — wiweasel • Apr 6, 2023

"After "hiking"/summiting Spruce Knob, the West Virginia High Point, we drove back to Seneca Rocks. Mom and I had hiked this in June of 2018, when we came back to get Spruce Knob in a non-snowy time of year, and I was very excited to do this gentle hike again. It's 800-ish feet of gain in 1.3 miles, so there's some definite "up" to it, but the path is large and fairly well groomed. Lots of people out hiking and enjoying the truly spectacular fall foliage that was covering the hills. Found our second snake-friend of the day here on the way down! Nice to do this again, and a good stretch of our legs before driving back up to Western Maryland for the night. A well-marked and clear trail. Maybe in the future I'll come back and get some of the other knolls in the area. The visitor center was either closed for the season or closed for Covid-19; hard to tell which...? A shame, it's a *really* nice visitor center. But a good hike in beautiful nature. Couldn't have asked for a better day. " — psychikingjes • Oct 21, 2020

"Since we were in the area to do Spruce Knob and it was a gorgeous day, we stopped by the USFS Discovery Center outside of Seneca Rocks and went up the trail to the "observation platform." Well... that didn't let you see the north or the south peaks. So, me being the, uh, "risk taker" that I am (and a decent and appropriately cautious rock scrambler), I went further up to actually stand on the North Peak of Seneca Rocks. The South Peak is a "true" peak or a "technical" peak as it requires a class 5+ technical rock climb to summit. The North, not so much - just appropriate caution. It was beautiful and a nice hike! My mother accompanied me up to the observation platform, but declined to join me on the scramble up to the North Peak." — psychikingjes • Jun 1, 2018

"Passing the baton again, Jamie’s first time up Seneca. Hate to admit we had to cross a snow fence to get to the trail up the back. Hey, it’s the way we always hiked up, no signs, but I guess I should have known better. Call it a farewell to my childhood. At the top we found the “new” trail down. Jogged it. Watch for Mr No Shoulders on this trail, we almost always see copperheads. Saw one today, right in the middle of the base section on our way out. Just a little fella about 2’ or so." — Alexanderthebetterthanaverage • Sep 21, 1991
