The
West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners present the 6th annual Highlands Sky Trail Run.
The event is centered at the Canaan Valley Resort State Park.
The point to point course traverses Dolly Sods and Canaan Valley through
some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain in West Virginia. Dolly Sods
is an area of high elevation, windswept plains ranging from 2500 to 4700
feet elevation. Trail terrain varies from woodland paths, rock and
boulder, to upland bogs, through northern hardwoods at lower elevations,
to Red Spruce and heath barrens above 4000 feet. Canaan is the highest
large valley east of the Mississippi. The Valley creates the headwaters of
the Blackwater River and has a unique environment composed of wetlands and uplands with vegetation characteristic of more northern
latitudes. WVMTR is a permittee of the Monongahela National Forest. |
