This past weekend, Mike and I took off to West Virginia with a couple of destinations in mind. The main point of interest for me was Blackwater Falls. Blackwater Falls is located in Canaan Valley, near Davis, West Virginia and is the falls of the Blackwater River whose amber-colored waters plunge five stories then twist and tumble through an eight-mile long gorge. The "black" water is a result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles. The falls are one of the most photographed sites in West Virginia.
We also went to Dolly Sods which was a little disappointing. We had hoped to be able to see the fabulous views I had seen photos of but they were off the road (actually more like a path). As we were in the car rather than the four-wheel drive truck so we were both concerned about the poor condition of the road. But I'm sure we will be going back.
