"Though uncommon, boxwork formations are found elsewhere," one sign notes. West Virginia is also home to others, while Wind Cave NP in South Dakota is one of the most notable west coast locations where the phenomena occurs naturally. It's even said that the former governor of West Virginia, Cecil Underwood, hiked through the area and was so captivated by these unique rocks, that he wanted to share his findings with others - which ultimately inspired the creation of the trail.

The trailhead for Honeycomb Rocks is along Highland Scenic Highway, and easy to miss. A small gravel parking area can only accommodate a few vehicles, though larger vehicles could park along the road and walk in. There are no restrooms or water available, just a small kiosk that includes a brochure to accompany this self-guided walk.
