The forecast was for rain throughout most of the state, but I found that the Eastern panhandle was just supposed to be overcast, so off to the Eastern Panhandle we went! Since we visit Berkeley Springs/Cacapon relatively frequently, we decided to go back to Lost River State Park, since that is one of the first state parks we traveled to.

Here is a panorama shot from Cranny Crow overlook. It’s a beautiful view, looking over into VA and WV.

Switchbacks! You can see two portions of the trail below.

It was a gorgeous view.
