“Welcome to Wild, Wonderful West Virginia." Tom. Ali, and 1 were travelling to Dolly Sods, and this was the sign that we noticed atop North Mountain as we crossed the state line. And we weren’t disappointed—Dolly Sods is really Wild and Wonderful, and very different from any place we had seen before.
The area known as Dolly Sods includes about 24,240 acres of the Monongahela National Forest and 7,680 acres of private land, located along the Allegheny Front in northeastern West Virginia. Ours was a three-day trip, in August this year.
The extensive high mountain meadows—at once rocky and boggy—are called "sods.” Once they were heavily forested with dense, dark stands of red spruce. Once they provided habitat for big American mammals, probably including cougars and elk.
