For this late winter backpacking trip, I decided to head back down to West Virginia’s Monongahela National forest to do some ridge hiking and cold weather hammock camping. Due to temperatures forecasted from the low 20’s to the low 40’s, I needed to pack in some heavier warm clothing layers for this trip, along with some camp tools, so I used my larger winter backpack. For sleep and shelter, I used my go-to ultralight hammock and tarp set-up with winter grade down quilts (full gear list below). As it turns out, I probably should have used that extra pack space for a larger tarp too, but live and learn I guess… The 6,792 acre Roaring Plains West Wilderness is a remote federal wilderness area located about 3 miles south of the more popular Dolly Sods Wilderness Area. It boasts a healthy network of trails, which are unmarked and often, grown in and hard to follow. Official paper maps are hard to come by, and by some accounts, not very up to date. Based on my personal experience, I would highly recommend using a GPS with appropriate data while hiking here. You can also find good trail info and map print-outs at MidAtlanticHikes.com and HikingUpward.com. I also recorded my personal GPS data for this trip, which can be found on my full blog post here https://www.sintax77.com/how-to-survi... Trailhead Used: Red Creek Trailhead 37 Public Road, Davis, WV 26260 38°58’20.7″N 79°23’53.8″W This is an easily accessible lot with room for a half dozen cars. I used it to begin a road hike up Forest Road 19 because the gates were closed for the winter. During other seasons, you can drive up the gravel FR19 and park right at the beginning of the South Prong and Boar’s Nest trails. Trails Used Day 1 Road hike FR19 for 3 miles Left (west) on Hidden Passage Trail Camp along Hidden Passage Tr on the Ridge. This is a medium sized campsite with room for a hammock or tent on the ridge, as well as some spots with more protection tucked in the pines. There is an established fire pit, but no water. The nearest water is at the campsite 1.5 miles earlier, near the intersection of Hidden Passage trail and South Prong trail. Day 1 Mileage: 6.9 miles Day 1 Gross Elevation Gain: 2,255′ Day 1 Gross Descent: 439′ Day 2 - Remain at camp on the ridge Trails Used Day 3 Continue on Hidden Passage Trail Left (south) on the Pipeline Right (west) on the Canyon Rim Trail This trail is very hard to spot, but when I went, there was a white thermometer nailed to a tree along the pipeline right by the grown-in entrance to the trail. Right (North) on Tee Pee Trail Trail begins next to an established ridge side campsite. When I was there, there was a small piece of orange tape and a very small pile of rocks marking the entrance, both of which could easily not be there in the future. I would highly suggest using GPS data for finding and following the short, but overgrown Tee Pee Trail. Right (east) on Roaring Plains Trail Right (southeast) on pipeline for a short bit Left (northeast) on dirt road for a little bit Left (north) on Boar’s Nest Trail FR19 for 1 Mile Return to Parking Day 2 Mileage: 11 miles Day 2 Gross Elevation Gain: 1,571′ Day 2 Gross Descent: 3,391′ Grand Total Mileage: 17.9 miles Grand Total Elevation Gain: 5,646′ FTC Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission for purchases made through some of my links.
