I've never camped in West Virginia before, so we got to add this to our states stickers on our trailer. There's an overlook trail that we went to on thr drizzly/rainy day. It was pretty, and more of a walk than a trail. Such beautiful views. And we love the style of the boardwalk and overlooks. There's an underlook trail, too, which takes you through the enormous rocks. We took that trail on the way to rock city, another trail in the middle of the park.
The kids enjoy getting to walk over and around the rocks. K was a bit disappointed, she rather preferred the Bearfence Mtn trail in the Shenandoahs. But this was a good, shorter version.
There was a lot to explore, highs and lows. The kids crossed onto this "island," and I encouraged them to explore down below. I sat on part of rock up top, and had the kids yelling at me from down below because there were holes in the rock you could see from underneath. They assured me I was going to fall to my death at any moment, so I moved along. I think I was fine, though.
Coopers Rock is super close to Morgantown, where Bill went to college. One of his fellow Eagle scouts (they Eagled at the same time) still lives in Morgantown, so we got the chance to spend an afternoon with them. Nick & Renee were such wonderful hosts, we had a great time meeting their kids and socializing.
We went to the Morgantown Botanic Gardens, where we found this little gem. Bill immortalized in a tree. Had to have this picture. The gardens had nice trails, but not a lot of gardens that we saw. It was a rainy day (again), so we didn't explore all it had to offer.
