I did an 11.5mi ramble in West Virginia's Coopers Rock State Forest yesterday.
The day began with an unsuccessful attempt to photograph the sunrise over the Cheat River, from the Raven Rock overlook. Thick fog from the river blanketed everything...
I was looking at a blue jay in full song
I hiked beside the fantastic cliffs and halls of the Sunset Wall, towards the Coopers Rock overlook.
Hiking alongside the Sunset Wall
The views from Coopers Rock featured more fog, although it was clearing by the time I left.
The Raven Rock power-lines, still foggy
Cheat River
I then dropped down to the Cheat River past more cliffs and then through pretty woods, before closing my loop at the 6 Acre Reservoir.
