The West Virginia Scenic Trails Association (WVSTA) is a nonprofit organization founded in the early 1970s and staffed entirely by volunteers.

WVSTA built and maintains the Allegheny Trail (ALT) although its long-range goal is to promote and help construct a statewide system of trails that would help prevent overcrowding and degradation of existing trails.

Membership in WVSTA is not limited to citizens of West Virginia and can be individual, family or group memberships. Some current members live as far away as Alaska.

There is plenty of yard tent space and house/porch floor space for sleeping pads.
Indoor cooking and bathing facilities are available as well. Bring a dish to share with others.
This is a really enjoyable event at a very nice location, and the Majestros are wonderful hosts.

Go through downtown Sutton on Main St. You will come to a stop sign next to the Movie Theater.
Go straight through the sign. The road will turn to a brick road. The house is located at 608 Main St.

NOTICES

Cheat Canyon Notice: Allegheny Wood Products (AWP) has temporarily closed the Allegheny Trail through Cheat Canyon for road construction. For instructions on the current route from Mt. Nebo to Muddy Run, please see the new instructions, which should be considered as an addendum to the hiking guide.

Future Re-route Notice: The Army National Guard is enlarging its practice firing range and will close the abandoned county road that the ALT currently uses. National Guard personnel are working with ALT maintainers to establish an alternate route. A re-route is expected before the end of the 2010 summer hiking season.

Trail Warning: As of November 2009, the tread at the southern ascent/descent of Shavers Mountain is still very difficult (Guidebook map caption: Section 2 N/S Map 14 Milepoints 63.34-66.09).  Watch for loose scree and narrow tread, especially near the top of the ridge.
