Wilderness Dissertation
The Roaring Plains Wilderness is the epitome of West Virginia's state slogan: Wild and Wonderful. Located on the rim of Long Run Canyon, far from any official trail, the depressions in the rock in this photo gather spruce needles and fallen leaves, staining the rock and water red as they decay. The challenging terrain, remoteness, and beauty of the Roaring Plains made it my favorite backpacking destination in West Virginia, where I would often escape while living in Baltimore for grad school. Roaring Plains West Wilderness, West Virginia.
