The Secret Garden Hike In West Virginia Will Make You Feel Like You’re In A Fairytale

By Geoff Foster | Published April 20, 2018

There are many places to hike in West Virginia, but only this garden hike will make you feel as if you stepped into a fairy tale.

The West Virginia Botanic Garden in Morgantown is the city's best kept little secret (perhaps not any more), providing a hike that is like a walk through a real life fairy tale.

Along the path at the site, which is open every day from dawn to dusk, you will find flowers of many different varieties.

Spring flower varieties include the Iris (pictured below) daffodil, and the purple and white crocus. Summer flowers at the garden include the lantana, daylily, and hen & chicks.

The picturesque surroundings have the ability to transport you into a different state of mind in which the modern world, replete with technology stacked in towers of concrete and glass, seems like a faded memory, so far away.

Once you have spent your time in the garden but are not quite ready to return to the modern world, there is also the option of taking a guided tour of the garden's wetlands and other areas.

By the time you leave, you will have a lasting memory of the garden and a desire to return the moment you have the free time.
