The Famous Panorama Overlook

Rt. 9 near Berkeley Springs, WV

"Panorama Overlook marks the north end of Cacapon Mountain's 30 mile march. West Virginia is the near side of the river and Maryland is the farmland on the far side. The hazy mountains in the distance are in PA...
The scene here encapsulates Amercia's transportation history showing the C & O Canal on the Maryland side of the river and the B & O Railroad on the WV side. Construction on both started on the same day in 1828....Over the years, the view from here has been lauded by many including: NATURAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK rates it the 5th finest view in the US.
I must say it was a beautiful sight but on this day the air was very heavy with moisture and haze. I look forward to returning and seeing it at its finest.
