Allegheny Trail, West Virginia
The Allegheny Trail is a hiking trail that passes through the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. It is the longest named trail in the state (excepting the Appalachian Trail, 4 miles (6.4 km) of which traverse the state atHarper’s Ferry).
The trail is not yet complete, and substantial sections are still on roads. It was initiated in 1975, and is being built and maintained by the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association.
The northern terminus of the Allegheny Trail is near Bruceton Mills, West Virginia at the Mason–Dixon line, which here represents the boundary between West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The trail ends at the Appalachian Trail on Peters Mountain on the Virginia-West Virginia border. ~Wiki

Views from the Allegheny trail. The rain created a wonderful saturated look to all the river stones. Playing with longer shutter speeds without a tripod… Some shots are a lot more successful than others..
Views from the Allegheny trail. By the High Falls rapids I found a river salamander. I’ve tried identifying what species, but this one doesn’t seem to have to many identifying traits…other than being dark brown/black. My guess is that it’s a Jefferson Salamander or a Ravine Salamander.
