"Took us a while to find the road to the summit. But ended up on the right path. Fall colors were fading but still an awesome view from the top.This made #5 for Finn and I and completed a three point trip." — CravinoCrew • Oct 24, 2020

"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

"This is my third visit to Spruce Knob and my second "summit." I've now been here in winter snow (and got the car stuck in said snow, badly), summer heat, and this time in fall color. This was part of our epic adventure to show Ken the area I grew up in (sort of; I didn't grow up in West Virginia, but the Appalachians are part of my blood), to take Mom back to these three high points now that she's feeling physically and mentally better, and to see some fall color where the majority of the trees are deciduous. It was BUSY up on Spruce Knob! Passed plenty of cars coming down as we were going up (which was *not* fun - it is a one-lane road and often has steep drop-offs on one side; not fun to pass on), and the parking lot had 15+ cars in it! Because the weather was nice, we did the whispering spruce trail around the high point. Maintained appropriate social distance from parties not our own, etc. etc. It was nice to see so many people out recreating in public lands!" — psychikingjes • Oct 21, 2020

"Hiked with Kim. Third highpoint of a long day of driving. Parked at the summit lot and walked out to the tower. Weather started to get windy and overcast, so we didn't spend much time up there. " — LGH-Tom • Aug 29, 2020

"After descending Big Schloss, I changed my clothes in the Wolf Gap Recreation Area parking lot and immediately proceeded walking in the opposite direction towards Tibbet Knob. Compared to Big Schloss, Tibbet Knob is less popular (I had the entire trail and summit to myself), more challenging (the rock scrambling is quite gnarly), and equally pleasing to the eyes (worthwhile 180+ degree views await you at the summit). I'm becoming more confident in my scrambling abilities and temperature regulation strategies. I never expected to become an expert in these areas overnight, but am satisfied with progress I have made over the last year or two. Now I can't help but wonder how I'd fare on more serious challenges like the final section of Seneca Rocks or the infamous Knife Edge on Katahdin. " — theascent • Dec 22, 2019
