We stayed at the Canaan Valley Ski Resort Lodge. Obviously there was no snow, but we did get a great view of the fall/falling leaves.
We managed to get in some great hiking while we were there. Since so many leaves had fallen, we were never quite sure where we were stepping : rocks, roots, mud etc.... This made for some fancy footwork for the both of us.
The Lodge had a couple really great restaurants which supplied us with a really great breakfast every morning and a Germanfest Buffet on our second night (all of which were definitely not on our diet)
We also got a chance to ride the chair lift up to the top of there ski slopes. A little scary but very beautiful and cold.
Below are some pictures from our quick weekend. Sorry. It seems I have them out of sequence.
The deer in this pic is really this close. All around this park, the deer were not afraid of people. They walked very close to us and then kept on going. Almost like they couldn't see us. There seemed to be 3 that ran together. I started calling them Madge, Matilda and Mable. Hey Girls!!
Some pics of us hiking the really great scenic trails. We were the only hikers that had a map. Oddly, the only ones that looked lost. Go Figure!
Picture taken after we arrived at the Lodge. It was just getting dark and cold. It's hard to see all the color in the leaves.
A pic of all the ski slope options once you get to the top of the slope. We decided to take the lift back down .
A pic of all the wind turbines at the top of the mountains. This was quite a sight from the top of the ski slope..
Heading back down the slopes on the chair lift. At this point we are freezing cold and realizing how under dressed we are.
