Ice Mountain Guided Tour

Ice Mountain is a very special location in Hampshire County, WV owned by The Nature Conservancy! This preserve was designated a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service in 2012 due to its outstanding biological and geological features.
Ice Mountain gets its name from its unique geology and the resulting ""refrigeration"" effect in the cracks and crevices of Ice Mountain's talus slopes! In this special spot, ice that forms in the winter is kept cold, often remaining visible in the summer!
This unique microclimate supports a community of boreal plants typically found much further north. Historically, this spot was also home to 4th of July picnics with ice cream made from the mountain's ice!
It is only accessible via guided tours by appointment. Potomac Valley Master Naturalists have set up one of these special tours for us!
