This is a challenging walk through the dark and lush Rocky Gap Canyon followed by an ascent over an old woods road to Evitts Mountain Summit where there expansive and beautiful views. Along the way, visit the historic homestead of the first white settler in the rugged Allegheny Mountains. The section of the hike through the canyon is rocky and steep at times but the scenery is gorgeous as it is filled with hemlocks, azalea, and rhododendron and has a very dense canopy. The ascent is also steep but it pauses enough to catch your breath.
