Bear Rocks Preserve, West Virginia
This windswept summit at Bear Rocks Preserve is one of the most frequently photographed places in West Virginia, and today—the first day of fall—kicks off a spectacular time of year to visit. The preserve in the Allegheny Mountains is on a rocky, high-altitude plateau that also includes the Dolly Sods Wilderness. The wind-sculpted sandstone outcrops lend the area much of its beauty, but this time of year the leaves compete for attention, taking on colorful shades that only boost the visual drama.
