Internet Brothers: Digital Photography - Appalachian Highlands

 

Cranberry Glades Wildflowers Cranberry Glades Wildflowers - Cranberry Glades Botanical Area is the largest region of bogs in West Virginia. If flowers and plants are your interest, you will enjoy seeing a variety of rare species common to the northern tundra growing here in this Appalachian setting. A convenient, half-mile boardwalk will allow you to take a leisurely stroll through two of the bogs. The boardwalk is also wheelchair accessible.


Meandering Wilderness Stream Meandering Wilderness Stream - Located in mid-eastern West Virginia in the Monongahela National Forest, Cranberry Glades is one of many exciting natural attractions in this beautiful highlands area. Here you can enjoy unlimited recreational opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, hunting, and fishing. We spent three days touring this delightful NFS wilderness in May 1999.


Hill Creek in Monongahela National Forest Hill Creek in Monongahela National Forest - One of the highlights of our adventure in the national forest was a hike through the Hill Creek gorge to the three different waterfalls. It's fun going down, and a gorgeous walk through the woods, but your legs better be in shape for the climb back up; it's steep. We were huffin' and puffin'. It may not be the Rocky Mountains, but still at more than 3000 feet, it takes your breath away.


The Netbros Enjoy the Lower Hill Creek Falls The Netbros Enjoy the Lower Hill Creek Falls - With a 63 foot cascade, the Lower Falls of Hill Creek is the second highest waterfall in the state of West Virginia. Located five miles from the Cranberry Visitor Center in the national forest, the 25 foot Upper Falls has a paved and easily accessible trail, but it stops there. The Middle Falls drop 45 feet. Here at the bottom of the trail, we were all smiles; different story back at the top.


Highland Scenic Highway Highland Scenic Highway - starting at the Cranberry Visitor Center on WV state route 39/55 and ending on US 219 north of Marlinton at the summit of Elk Mountain, enjoy 23 miles of changing elevation from 2900 to 4500 feet passing by the highest point in West Virginia. Four scenic overlooks along the way and dozens of NFS trail heads provide spectacular views of the Allegheny highlands.
