The Cheat Mountain Salamander offers visitors not only a ride on a unique train, but also the opportunity to take a leisurely ride through the Pocahontas back country, providing a glimpse at a wilderness that is usually only accessible to hikers. The train is completely enclosed, so it makes for an especially great activity to pursue if bad weather should impinge on your vacation. However, it is best enjoyed on a clear day. One word of warning, the seats in this train are somewhat stiff and the ride is a bit bouncy, so you may want to take a pillow with you, to sit on, if don't have enough natural padding. Also, don't forget to bring your camera, in addition to breathtaking scenery, you may also see a variety of wildlife ranging from to bears and ground hogs, to deer and hawks.
