Cooper's Rock, Barely West Virginia

Just across the Mason Dixon Line, on the southern side, you'll find Cooper's Rock State Forest.  We do have VIEWS as good as this, and better, on the northern side of the line.  But we do not have cliffs this high--none that I know of.  In fact, the state closed a 50 foot high cliff in northeastern Pennsylvania because someone fell off it.  If West Virginia had to close all its cliffs taller than 50 feet, the whole state would be on lockdown.
The Cheat River wends its lazy course amid the rocks so far below.  Cooper's Rock is a fun place to visit with lots of trails, and views, and a really nice and wooded primitive campground.  But it just wasn't quite wild enough for me.  Too many people there from Pittsburgh and nearby Morgantown.
