Hiking Elliott's Knob

Augusta's Tallest Mountain Up Close

You can hike to the top of Elliott's Knob from four different directions. I've done it from the old Parkersburg Turnpike South along the ridge. I've come North along the ridge too. I've even come up the trail on the Western face but the trail most people prefer is the one through Falls Hollow. I've done that one more than once.

Here are Pictures [click to view] of the hike up Fall's Hollow. The portion from Virginia Route 42 through Falls Hollow is fairly moderate in difficulty but the trek up the road to the top can be pretty strenuous.
