Pipestem Park, WV

A while ago we got out and went to Pipestem Park. First we stopped in at the nature center which has really great displays! We enjoyed seeing the live turtles and found the copperhead to be very interesting (in aquariums.) Of the displays we were impressed with the Ruffed Grouse, fox, coyote, and the variety of nests on display.

Out back they have a very nice bird feeding station!
Then we went and hiked up Knob Trail to The Lookout Tower - this hike was somewhat steep but short.
The view from up on The Tower was amazing! Elevation 3,000 feet. We are looking forward to the trees changing color soon......

 We also got some nice pictures of a Turkey Vulture in flight - looking forward to getting more in flight pictures and some pictures of different raptors!
While there a momma deer and her young one made an appearance!

That was most of our afternoon at Pipestem Park and that was just one small part of that park!
