Overview

Located in western Monongalia County, 40 minutes from Morgantown, Graveyard Hill is a fun trail nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Driving Gallagher Ridge, you'll instantly get a feeling for the area. The area is entirely rural, consisting of dispersed homes, farmland, and large tracts of vacant land. Like many trails in Monongalia county, this is an unmaintained public road built to connect communities that arose when the timber and coal industries brought people to the area. You aren't far from major roads, but you'll feel like you're on top of the world in the middle of nowhere.
