Blackwater Falls & Dolly Sods
I woke at the overlook above Elkins with fog filling the valleys and drove the rough mountain road down toward town. After restocking supplies, I followed the storm north to Blackwater Falls, where rain poured and the campground was closed. By afternoon, I was on the rocky road to Dolly Sods, climbing into wind, fog, and the high country of West Virginia.
Agate Fossil Beds
Agate Fossil Beds preserves Miocene mammals, while Toadstool Geologic Park offers strange hoodoos and badlands trails. I explored both before camping lakeside in Nebraska.
