The Cliffs of Westmoreland
Not exactly the White Cliffs of Dover.
The Potomac River is 6 miles/9.6 km wide at this point in its 406 mile/653 km long journey from the West Virginia Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Because of the river's choppy waters, the Park is slowly losing its beaches to erosion and has closed a beach-side swimming pool. More recently, five newly refurbished water-view cabins on unstable cliffs can no longer be used. The line in the trees is the park road. Most of the park is at that elevation with trails down to the beaches where storms churn up fossils and shark's teeth.
