Jeep trip to Hanging Rock WV and VA

Tag along with us on a New Years Day Jeep ride to Hanging Rock in WV and VA. Beautiful panoramic views and short hikes to Both places don't disappoint. First spot is in VA off of Potts Mountain Rd in the Jefferson National Forest. It's a short easy I mile round trip hike out to the lookout where you can see for miles and miles into VA and WV.

The second hike is just up the road and back into WV and it's also called Hanging Rock and it has a fire tower built in the 50's which is now the Raptor Observatory and is a neat structure with awesome views as well. This hike is a little more of an incline but also not a bad hike and it's a 2 mile round trip hike.
