1 week agoThe Cranberry Wilderness in West Virginia Might Be One of the Most Peaceful Places in the U.S.-and It Has Stunning Fall Foliage
I crawled out of my tent and pulled my hat down over my ears before checking the car's thermometer, which read 38 degrees Fahrenheit. It was May 25, and while much of the state had already heated up, West Virginia's Cranberry Wilderness was still chilly-perfect for the trout that glide through the area's rivers. It owes its cool weather to its high elevation; the area ranges from 2,400 to over 4,600 feet above sea level.
