Mountain Top Cabin Guidebook
Sightseeing
Hike ice mountain on a hot day and you are likely to feel a cool air flowing from the natural vents in the mountain.
Set apart from other hiking trails in the area, Ice Mountain contains a very fragile eco-system and requires a trained docent (guide). To line up a docent, contact Steve Bailes in advance. Visitors are asked to reserve a trip three weeks to a month in advance. Trips are typically held on Saturdays mornings.

City/town information
The beautiful bridge over the Cacapon River is a great place for an afternoon stroll. The views from the walkway are wonderful and explore the river as it slowly passes underneath.
It is an historic example of a Parker Through Truss bridge, built in 1933 with good old Wheeling Steel. The bridge was recently named in honor of Sgt. Rex Marcel Sherman, a son of Hampshire County, who was killed in Viet Nam while assisting a wounded comrade. It will soon be restored and placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
