At 4,863 feet, Spruce Knob is the highest point in West Virginia, ranking #24 among U.S. state high points and marking my 4th overall.
Located within both the Monongahela National Forest and the Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, Spruce Knob can be reached either by a long hike or by driving nearly to the summit—an option that proved useful on my visit.
