    Rock Garden

Extension of the Dobbin House trail through mixed hardwoods and rhododendron to Pase Point, a rock outcropping overlooking the North Fork of the Blackwater River.

Trail work recently cleared out the trail, very technical ride and beautiful hike.

 Rhodo was a bit tight in areas, but otherwise clear. Typical WV fall conditions: wet roots, rocks, & leaves. =D Fun day out.
