Shavers Mountain, Mountain ridge in Randolph County, United States.
Shavers Mountain extends 35 miles through eastern West Virginia, reaching elevations over 4,000 feet with dense forest covering its slopes.
Peter Shaver, an early settler who lost his life to Native American conflicts, gave his name to this mountain where Ellis Wyatt built the first house in 1848.
The mountain range holds significance for local communities who maintain traditions of hiking, hunting, and gathering in the Monongahela National Forest.
The Shavers Mountain Trail spans 10 miles along the ridge, offering access points through established trailheads in the Monongahela National Forest.
The Gaudineer Scenic Area preserves 50 acres of virgin red spruce forest at the mountain's summit, representing original Appalachian forest conditions.
