DIFFICULTY

Here's an absolute classic Davis, WV ride. Don't let the "short" distance fool you, these 10 miles are pretty brutal and will take every ounce of energy you have to complete them. The beginning and end are pretty benign, but the middle section, especially the climb up Moon Rocks and the subsequent descent along Hoo Doo Rocks will rattle you to the core.

This is a perfect intro to what the Davis area has to offer. Once you have tackled this ride go for a shot at the Plantation trail or the Dobin House Loop.

If you are really adventurous and a glutton for punishment, add the trails directly across the river to this loop, including Hellbender and SplashDam.

Above: Making it to the top of Moon Rocks is highly rewarding. Below: Rocks abound along this route. Bring your tech skills to the table, otherwise…


CAMP 70 TRAILS: MOON ROCKS & HOO DOO ROCKS

Location: Davis, WV

Length: 9.8 miles
Ride Time: Anywhere from 1.5 - 3.5 hours depending on your ability
Ride Type: MTB
Difficulty: Level 4 Riding: The Moon Rocks and Hoo Doo Rock trails in Davis, WV, are part of the Heart of the Highlands Trail System. These trails are located within the Little Canaan Wildlife Management Area and are known for their unique rock formations, challenging terrain and scenic views. Both trails offer a mix of rocky paths and forested areas, The Hoo Doo Rock trail features striking hoodoo formations, which are tall, thin spires of rock that have been naturally eroded over time.

Book: Moon Rocks and Hoo Doo Rocks are not included in any of my books. The loop I present here is from a recent trip to Davis, WV where I sampled multiple other trails. Beyond this classic loop, there are a myriad of other rides in and around Davis, including, among others, Hellbender and Splash Dam (route below), The Dobin House Trail, The Promised Land many more.
