The Gaudineer Scenic Area is part of the Monongahela National Forest. Approximately 50 acres of the 140 acre Gaudineer Scenic Area is typical of the virgin red spruce type that originally occupied large portions of the highland areas of West Virginia. The composition of this impressive timber stand consists of virgin and second growth red spruce, yellow birch, beech, red maple, sugar maple and other hardwood species. Individual trees range up to 40 inches in diameter at breast height and 300 years old. The total volume of the 140 acre tract is estimated at one and a helf million board feed.

Fall color starts a little earlier than the rest of West Virginia. Typically, colors peak in late September or Early October.
