I find it always special when I’m rolling along a mountain road and find a pull-off vista-view. Here’s one…
…with snow outlining every little trail and logging road. This is a close-up of that “triangle” on the right side above.
Our tourist stop of the day was at (one part of) New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, in West Virginia. We first saw the gorge from these windows in the Canyon Rim Visitor Center.
Truly a gorgeous gorge—even with rain starting to fall.
Here’s the high bridge crossing the gorge…
…and here’s the high bridge from the low bridge, which is the one we crossed.
The rest of the day was rain, never a blinding storm, but constant, mile after mile. We hear that we may awaken to snow tomorrow here in Asheville, despite being so much farther south than the southern Lake Erie shore.

We visited New River Gorge a couple of years ago, on our way (out of our way) to Boston for Thanksgiving. We signed up for the walk under the high bridge. We were hooked into safety harnesses and walked along the maintenance walkway. At one point we stopped, and you could choose to sit on the edge with your feet dangling over the edge. It also snowed for about 10 minutes while we were under the bridge. I’m looking at my camera, wondering why it was so out of focus. Then the haziness turned into actual big fat flakes.
