About this route

From Richwood past the Cranberry Glades and along Highway 150 over the Allegheny Highlands to US-219, through the Monongahela National Forest at up to about 1,400 m. Empty roads, forest and overlooks, with no services at all. Highway 150 is not cleared of snow in winter, so it is closed then. Fill up before you go.

Check road conditions, closures and opening dates before you ride.
