The Devils Backbone - Huntersville, WV

Randall Sanger Photography and I just completed another photography workshop in the Greenbrier River Valley of West Virginia and the foliage was absolutely peak at nearly all elevations, which is unusual. Some of the best color we had seen this year was in Watoga State Park. We were able to take our group to several spots that are usually past their prime by the time the workshop takes place, including this location right off the side of the road near Huntersville, West Virginia.

The day after the workshop, I headed up to Tucker County to work the WV Highlands Artisans gallery for a couple days where people from all over were coming in droves to visit for Fall color, which was well past peak at this point. In Pocahontas County, we encountered very few tourists where some of the best color was, and most of them appeared to be bikers off the Greenbrier River Trail.

At Bear Rocks, you can stake out any spot along the ridge and find great photos in all directions on the wide open plains. You have to look a little harder in Pocahontas County for compositions. I've resisted the last 6 years doing a Fall photo workshop in Canaan Valley/Dolly Sods because everyone is there and there are already choices of several workshops. I like that I can offer something unique that nobody else appears to be doing and it's rewarding that I can show people a part of the state that tends to get neglected by outside folks.

TLDR: Don't sleep on Pocahontas County!
