Blackwater Falls State Park

This past week went were on our final summer vacation at Canaan Valley, West Virginia. It is one of our favorite places to visit every year. We've been going there for the past 9 years.

My Little Man loves this area and loves to go hiking through the woods. I especially love this area myself as it is so peaceful and beautiful all at the same time.

I love how the moss gross everywhere along with the ferns. It just makes everything look so magical looking like ferries would live there!

I don't know where the water came from but this man made stair stepped waterfall was beautiful.

My Young Lady with one of the beautiful rocks with moss growing on it. We had a great time while we were there. It was nice to get away from all of the every day life and just enjoy God's handiwork!
