Weekend Trip to West Virginia, Hiking Chimney Top, High Knob, Sun and Stars from Spruce Knob

Another beautiful autumn weekend when I set off to West Virginia in search of nature colors. I opted to hike Chimney Top on Saturday, spent the night camping around Spruce Knob where I star-gazed with the darkest sky in the mid-Atlantic region. On my return Sunday, I hiked High Knob that straddles West Virginia and Virginia.
