The first time I stepped out onto the boardwalk in Beartown State Park I fell in love with all the wonderful angels and stairs. I’m comfortable navigating by landmarks such as Terrain but the boardwalk made me feel like I was in Middle Earth and about to meet the elves. The picture here was taken in the Fall and every time the breeze came along it showered us with brightly colored leaves. Tall ferns grow on the tops of the large rocks that line the edges of path. Beartown is a place where you can really recharge.

It really does make you believe it could exist in Middle Earth. I’m adding Beartown to the list of destinations I want to visit in the US!

It’s a beautiful place. The boardwalk winds in and around large rocks. This place was the favorite spot of a young soldier who never made it home from the war in Vietnam. His family donated the land for the park in his memory. Beartown State Park is only one of many special places in West Virginia. And you had better let me know if you’re ever this close. 🙂

That’s sad…. the Vietnam War was cruel. But I’m glad his family have donated the land for the park in his memory, it’s a beautiful place and way to remember someone. And yes, you must assist me in those adventures!
