About Mount Olive
Mount Olive Loop explores the rolling country east of Elkins.
The route runs east onto Mount Olive Road and crosses a narrow one-lane bridge before climbing sharply out of the valley. The road continues north toward the ridges near Wesley, where the route reaches its high point before descending back toward Elkins.
The route features quiet valleys, punchy climbs, fast descents and one of the area's more memorable little bridge crossings.
