The Second Falls On Rock Run
  I have heard reports that Rock Run is an excellent Wild Trout Stream.  But, by my visual observations, it appears to be sterile.  I did not observe any fish over its entire length.  The stream is approximately a mile long, draining a broad mountain top between Glade Run and Little Dunbar Creek.  Unfortunately, almost the entire mountain top has been stripped and is polluting  Rock Run with acidic mine runoff.  The top half of Rock Run passes through and along the massive strip mine.  The area is an almost impenetrable jungle of saplings and briars, interspersed with an occasional fern meadow.  It took me over two hours to travel 1/2 mile over this terrain.  If you decide to explore Rock Run, make sure you have a compass, or you will get lost.  I would very strongly advise against making any cross mountain trips between the Glade / Rock Run and Little Dunbar Creek Valleys.  Travel is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.  On the positive side, there is a location at the top of the strip where there is an excellent view of the Dunbar Creek Valley.  All you have to do is find the large rock sitting along a dead-end trail, climb it and look HAHAHA.  The photo from the strip was taken about a quarter mile from Little Dunbar.  This concludes our "detour" up Rock Run.  Time to find our way back down.
