The Mountaineer
The Mountaineer GNCC takes place at the world-renowned Summit Bechtel Reserve. Naturally, given the rugged West Virginia Mountains you should be prepared for a tough but fun event. The course will be made up of a mix of tight and technical trails plus some fast sections to give you a break before you head back into the technical stuff.

Previously, this event has been the largest outdoor hunting and fishing show in the state, dedicated to hunting, fishing and conservation related merchandise and information. Staff from the WVDNR Wildlife Resources, Law Enforcement and State Parks sections will be available throughout the weekend to answer any questions visitors may have.
