Allegheny Trail, West Virginia - Watercolor Illustrated Map

In honor of the Allegheny Trail's 50th anniversary in 2024, I've created a hand-painted watercolor map to celebrate West Virginia's longest hiking trail. 

This 11x14 inch art print features all 311 miles of the Allegheny Trail, along with iconic locations along the way. Seven illustrated vignettes highlight Cheat Canyon, Blackwater Falls, Guadineer Knob, the Thorny Mountain Fire Tower, Cass Scenic Railroad, Green Bank Observatory, and Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory. The map also showcases flora and fauna that make their home along the trail: the Appalachian cottontail, Virginia big-eared bat, Cheat Mountain salamander, morel mushrooms, pink lady's slipper orchid, and wild ramp. 

Created in West Virginia on richly textured paper with vibrant inks.
