Spruce knob, the highest point in West Virginia. 4863 feet. The temperature on top of the mountain, last Saturday, was in the high 30s prior to sunset. My hands were frozen after about 15 minutes of taking photos. After dropping back down into the valley by Seneca Rocks I was able to wear shorts and a light hoody. #SpruceKnob #AlmostHeaven #WildAndWonderful #WV #MountainMama #statehighpoint #peakbagging #appalachians #monongahelanationalforest #nationalforest #ExploreWV #HikeWV #IntoTheForest #MayTheForestBeWithYou #bestvirginia #raw_skies #raw_allnature #raw_alltrees #raw_moody #raw_depthoffield #OTVAdventures #whyihike #happypeoplehike #raw_seasons #onlyinwestvirginia #scenicwestvirginia #alleghenymountains #westvirginiasunset #sprucemountain #takemehomecountryroads
I’ve been to Blackwater Falls State Park quite a few times in my life but this is the first time I’ve seen it with this much volume. For those of you that don’t know, the water here appears darker in color due to the tannic acid given off from the pine trees growing in the area and the underlying shale in the canyon and Canaan Valley. #BlackwaterFallsStatePark #blackwaterfalls #thatsalotofwater #OnlyInWestVirginia #WildAndWonderful #AlmostHeaven #MountainMama #gettuckered #TuckerCountyWV #ExploreWV #HikeWV #MonongahelaNationalForest #IntoTheForest #nationalforest #raw_moody #raw_waters #raw_skies #raw_alltrees #bestvirginia #getoutsidemore #landscape_capture #happypeoplehike #whyihike #moodynaturelandscapes #moodyphotography #wv #304 #OTVAdventures
Yesterday's sunrise at Dolly Sods, West Virginia.
The Dolly Sods is a magical place, being a high plateau on the eastern edge of the Monongahela National Forest with endless views to the east, and features a collection of flora and fauna typically found in climates much further north.
The red spruce take on a deformed, yet beautiful appearance, as they all have their branches facing east and are mostly barren on their western faces, due to the relentless high winds that sweep over the plateau.
I will definitely be back at this amazing place, as there is much more to explore. .

It’s been so rainy and dreary this weekend and all that has been accomplished is some housework. Thought we’d re-share a picture of a much prettier morning. Taken from our favorite front porch spot and the place we enjoy most. #home #porchsitting #mountains #fog #morning #wv #countryroads #westvirginia #wildandwonderful #wildandwonderfulwv #wvliving #gotowv #almostheaven #twelve6adventures #landscape #wondergrams #allthingswv #onlyinwestvirginia #mountainmama #mountainstate #weekend #sundayfunday #wanderlust #natgeo #natgeoyourshot
