Davis, WV
Early autumn excites me enough that I travel to see it. I want to see colorful leaves in the crisp sunlight. Typically the foliage display reaches its peak in the Allegheny Mountains before it does here in the valley.
Yesterday I had an appointment in the town of Broadway, which to my mind is almost to West Virginia. So I decided to drive out to see the fall colors on the Allegheny Front, which was about an hour and 20 minutes away.
The colors are a little behind this year and have not reached their peak. I had already decided that I would continue a little farther to Blackwater Falls and Fairfax Stone State Park. Since I have been to Blackwater Falls a number of times, I didn’t stay there very long, but I did take the short upper trail to the overlook.
There isn’t as much water going over the falls as there was in past years. They have not had as much rainfall this year.
...twice as nice.
ReplyDeleteThe waterfall is gorgeous. So are the leaves turning
ReplyDelete“Since I have been to Blackwater Falls a number of times, I didn’t stay there for very long…” seems like a really odd statement to me. When did familiarity mean it’s no longer worthwhile?
ReplyDeleteI didn’t feel the need to explore, because there was a place down the road that I had never seen before.
DeleteSome fine Autumn views here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views of the falls and park! Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteWe are way behind in our fall foliage as well. But I keep going out and checking.
ReplyDeleteThe views are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place to come and see.
ReplyDeleteYep, time for me to take another hike in the mountains, assuming I can make my way through the crowds. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos I love the waterfalls What a great area
ReplyDeleteYou look like you are just about where we are in the Southern Tier of New York state as far as color. I love that waterfall! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
