Eagles abound in the mountain state, and it’s not so rare to see one soaring high overhead or perched on a tall tree above a river or lake. As you watch them, do you ever envy their eagle-eye view of West Virginia? Well, this climb won’t get you quite that high, but it’s a step (or several!) in the right direction, and it will offer a perch from which you can see for miles!

Where do you go to catch a sunset? When the golden hour comes to our state, there are so many good vantage points in West Virginia with picturesque views of the western horizon. One that's well worth visiting is Dorsey's Knob Park set high above Morgantown.

You can scramble up to the top of this rock on the knob for one of the best views of Morgantown and the surrounding areas that you'll ever see.
