Weekend Loop in WV Suggestions

[chall]

Starting to plan an early spring trip, and am looking into Monongahela NF in West Virginia. Since I've never been there before, does anyone have any good 25-35 mile loop suggestions? Both my friend and I are experiences hikers, so challenging trails are welcome. Thanks!

Thanks, it's a great site. Actually found one there right after I posted this: Dolly Sods circumnavigation in March is in the books.

sintax7 has a good video of a Dolly Sods hike on utube.

I love Dolly Sods. It is the best "wilderness" that I have found in the area. Here is a 31 mile loop that I did in 2013

I am hoping to do the Dolly Sods circumnavigation loop around that time frame also. I will let you know if/ when we do it.

I've done a few hikes in that general area over the years and Dolly Sods is my favorite.
