McCray Trailhead is a gateway into Monongahela forested ridges, fern-lined streams and seasonal wildflower meadows — great for intimate woodland scenes, flowing-water shots and fall color. Best at golden hour and early morning for mist and soft light. Easy roadside parking at the trailhead; trails are moderate and unpaved. Expect ticks and variable mountain weather; weekdays are quieter. No permit for day hiking; respect leave-no-trace rules.
