High Falls on the Cheat River
This was the point of the long bus ride and the end of two hours on the train. The High Falls is horseshoe-shaped, and over 100ft wide, falling 20ft into a large pool below. Like all the rivers and creeks that we had seen previously it was low in volume due to a serious lack of rain. Still very beautiful! Unlike my part mountain goat buddy Anita, I did not go on the slippery rocks to get the view from head on but stayed in safety at the side. LOL There were 65 stairs down to this point, most of them covered in damp, slippery leaves. The only way to see the falls is by hiking in or taking the train. We were allowed about 45 minutes here to enjoy this wonderful place and then back to the train for the 2 hour trek back down and out of the mountains. It was well worth the long ride on the bus, juggling lunch between the moving cars and the super early start to the day! :)
