Seneca Creek Backcountry




This past Monday and Tuesday, Ryan and I went on our first backpacking trip together. Just the two of us. This was a new experiment which involved me carrying all of my gear AND all of Ryan's gear. We went to the Seneca Creek Backcountry which is just down the mountain from Spruce Knob, the highest point in WV. We hiked a total of 9.6 miles, and Ryan passed the test with flying colors. We camped at a beautiful spot about 5 miles down the trail next to a 30 foot waterfall on Seneca Creek. I am so thankful for the chance to spend some quality one on one time with Ryan. He is quite the outdoorsman and has a special gift with animals, catching 19 salamanders on the trip.
