I got to go to Kumbrabow State Forest at the perfect time this year. Everything was all yellow and orange with a little red and green thrown in, it was great. We went back maybe 6 days later and all the color was gone with most of the leaves on the ground. It’s crazy how fast seasons change up here. This has been my first year with a camera and I was afraid I’d miss the peak season. I’m real glad that didn’t happen.

Sometimes a #westvirginia back road can be just as thrilling in the winter as any other season. Bundle up, be prepared, and know the ATV laws of the roads beforehand. 🤙🏼

As its name suggests, Cheat Bridge is named for a historical bridge over Shavers Fork of Cheat River located in #RandolphWV and first built in the 19th century to service the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike. The current bridge is a steel truss bridge built in 1912 by the Canton Bridge Company. 🌉
