Hiking WV: Cacapon State Park
Looked at the weather Friday and discovered the Eastern Panhandle was out only option without a high chance of rain.
So off to Cacapon State Park we went.
Location: Cacapon State Park
Trail: Overlook Trail (partial)
Distance: 5.9 miles
Elevation: 2100-2289 feet
At Cacapon we drove up the mountain and did the Overlook trail. Unfortunately, we didn’t hike anywhere near as long as I had hoped, because my ankle was bothering me. But it was still lovely to be in the woods.
This is from the overlook.
You’re hiking along the ridgeline for a bit, but there is never a clearing to get a good view of the valley below.
We also stopped just outside of Berkeley Springs, at the top of the mountain where you have this lovely view of the Potomac.
