Natural Beauty
Blackwater Falls State Park
My uncle and I drove the back roads of West Virginia to see this gem as my final stop of my 2023 travels. Named after the waterfalls that are the park’s centerpiece, Blackwater Falls State Park is a great example of West Virginia’s immense beauty.
Montreal Botanical Garden
This grand botanical garden popped with color, even on a day made dreary by widespread smoke from wildfires. Wander the Montreal Botanical Garden’s themed gardens—Chinese, Japanese, First Nations, and more—where seasonal color and global design shine.
