Blackwater Canyon covered in snowSnow covers Blackwater Canyon in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia.

I just got back from a short trip to West Virginia. I was there for recreation, but took some time to take some photos. The snow was beautiful. Here are a couple of photos that I think turned out pretty well. Enjoy!

I visited Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virginia over Indigenous Peoples' weekend. It was peak season for fall foliage and there was a lot of water in the falls. Above and immediately below are photos of Blackwater Falls from two different vantage points. The falls are formed where the Blackwater River transitions from Canaan Valley into rugged Blackwater Canyon. The river gets its name from the tannin-darkened water.

Bellow are images of Blackwater Canyon, Elakala Falls, and Lindy Point, which again features Blackwater Canyon. I had a great visit to the Park and I'm pleased that I was able to bring home some wonderful photos.

Tucked away in the center of West Virginia is a trio of waterfalls called the "Falls of Hills Creek". Above is the middle of the falls. It is about 45 feet tall. Bellow is the lower of the falls. It is about 65 feet tall. Since Falls of Hills Creek is fairly remote, there was no one else there when I visited, making for a very peaceful visit.
