The Endless Wall Trail creates a hiking loop when combined with Lansing-Edmond Road. The path winds its way through a dense forest with a thick canopy before arriving at the actual cliffs of the wall. The trail is easy to follow and is a pretty short trek roundtrip.

This riverside park is a great spot to take a break and enjoy views of the river. There are picnic areas, a kayak launch and restroom facilities.

The Caperton Trail is a fully paved bike and walking path that runs from Starcity to Morgantown. The path runs through several parks and has many options for restaurants close to the trail.

The Core Arboretum is a historic 91-acre arboretum owned by West Virginia University, on Monongahela Boulevard in Morgantown, West Virginia. It is also accessible via the Caperton Trail, a popular multi-use trail that runs right through it. The arboretum is free and open to the public daily. There are several hundred species of native WV trees, shrubs, and many of the larger trees are likely over 200 years old. In the spring, you can also see beautiful, ephemeral wildflowers.

This is a tough and rewarding route that I'd only recommend for the avid trail runners. If you're coming up it's one hell of a climb, and if you're coming down it's steep, so you'll need to watch your footing. The ground is rocky underneath and tends to hold ice in the colder months, so best completed in spring and summer.

This is one of the fancier and more contemporary Appalachian Trail shelters, making it a popular layover for hikers/trail runners. The enclosed loft offers above-average protection from the elements, and a privy is also available at the site. There's a reliable spring approximately half a mile downhill from the shelter, but an intermittent seep may be found much closer to the shelter, depending on the season.

This railroad bridge that spans over the Potomac River in Harpers Ferry is quite the spectacle. A walk across the bridge grants you quick access between the C&O Canal Trail and Harpers Ferry town.

Runners can embrace wild beauty and history while logging miles through West Virginia University's Core Arboretum. Spanning 91 acres adjacent to the Monongahela River, the open green space has over 3 miles of peaceful forested trails wrapping around old growth trees, some estimated at over 200 years old. Lush native species, wildflowers, and diverse wildlife habitats unlock glimpses of Appalachian nature at its finest. From steep hillsides to floodplain paths, the Arboretum named for ecologist Earl Core makes for terrain as fascinating to run as what may be spotted wandering its habitats.
