Indian Run Overlook along Skyline Drive is a great place to view ice flowing
over the rocks like waterfalls. I’ve been going there every winter for
several years. This feature is only 11 miles from Front Royal.
I don’t see waterfalls at this spot in the summer. The rocks are simply wet with water from springs, and a drainage ditch carries the water away.
A
geology page describes the rock formation here: “The basal basalt flow of the Catoctin Formation is exposed in the roadcut
by the overlook.”
I love your scenery.

Oh how beautiful the ice falls over the rocks are! Thanks for capturing this and sharing with me. Water, water - doing it's many things on the faces of the earth!
