Gaudineer Picnic Area

 

The Gaudineer Picnic Area is an exquisite picnic area for anyone who loves privacy, as most of the picnic tables are secluded in the spruce old growth forest and cannot be seen from other picnic tables or from the parking lot. The entire area is known as Gaudineer Scenic Area and includes the loop trail through the forest to the overlook atop this mountain in the Monongahela National Forest, where a nice bench awaits those who come here. Not too far from this location is the Gaudineer Old Growth Trail, the subject of next week's pictures.
