UPLAND ADVENTURE
West Virginia's CANAAN VALLEY is renowned among nature lovers as a diverse capsule of highland and forest habitat, including homes for plants and animals usually found much further north—a "boreal relict," is the term.
CASCADE CRUISE
The run that begins off Route 32 ends at BLACKWATER FALLS STATE PARK, named for a 57-foot torrent and networked by more than 20 miles of hiking paths, including the Allegheny Trail
STARS FOR A CEILING
The Loop road leads to seven dispersed camping spots, all free, first-come-first-served and resolutely primitive. The state park offers 65 trailer and tent sites, all with electric hook-ups.
