    Backpacking area western West Virginia

    I will be in southeast Ohio for work and have a weekend free. Any good spots in western West Virginia to hike a few miles a day and hang a hammock. Doesn't need to be a long trail, 10 miles a day over 2 or 3 days would be plenty enough.

    I know Dolly Sods is a great spot but looking for something a little closer if available.

    TIA

    The Cranberry Wilderness in Pocahontas County is still in eastern WV, but it's about 2 1/2 hours closer than Dolly Sods. There are bound to be other places closer still.

    What about something near Cooper's Rock? Camping at Coopers Rock - West Virginia State Parks - West Virginia State Parks (wvstateparks.com). It's more northern than Western, but is a very nice area (at least it was when I was in grad school more than 20 years ago LOL).
