Thanks, Skye. Your name is perfect for one whose videos are called Rooftops of America. I enjoyed this story and plan to return there this summer.

@RooftopsofAmerica 3 года назад

Thanks Daniel! It is a very cool place to ramble about. I'm looking forward to my next adventure there as well!

@mottodan 4 года назад

WELL DONE,there are so many videos on RU-vid that don't take the time to tell its history,I'm a fan now!

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

Thanks Dan! I have always thought places are more interesting when you understand the context and role in which they exist.

I am planning a trip here to see the milkyway and I was researching the area. Thank you so much for the information on the area. I really enjoyed this.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

It's a beautiful area and you should have some spectacular views of the stars on a clear night!

@Chris-we9pb 3 года назад

Hope you ended up going, it is an awesome place to see the stars. Even if the moon is out, you'll see a show!

@BackpackingWithJason 4 года назад

Love all the information in the video. I just got back from a backpacking trip in Dolly Sods. West Virginia is so beautiful. Absolutely loved this video. Great job 👍

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

It sure is! WV is one of those places you could explore for years and never get bored. Thanks for watching!

@ronaldoyanez2524 2 года назад

You right

@jenniferhayden3719 2 года назад

Super cool place! Definitely check it out. Unfortunately the day I went it was raining. I need to go back on a sunny day to get better pictures. We still had a great time though dancing in the rain on the observation tower!

@RooftopsofAmerica 2 года назад

The first time I ever went up there it was 35 degrees, windy, and wet. It was a bit rough. The next time though was absolutely beautiful. Such a cool area.

great upload Rooftops of America. I crushed the thumbs up on your video. Keep up the awesome work.

@RooftopsofAmerica 3 года назад

Thanks! We've got more coming soon!

@ECWnWWF 3 года назад

this rooftop is almost heaven, I imagine those country roads have taken many people home.

@RooftopsofAmerica 3 года назад

Funny thing about that song, there is a good case to be made that it isn't about WV but about the area in northwestern Virginia, Front Royal, etc.

@nomoreblahblah Год назад

Interesting video. good info

@RooftopsofAmerica Год назад

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@steveseale5393 4 года назад

Thanks for the video! Your coverage of the highpoints and their surrounding cultural and natural scientific factors keeps getting better and better! I'm sharing this on Facebook.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

Thanks Steve!

@streamlinetreecare182 4 года назад

Another great episode! I wonder how long it takes a raindrop to travel from Spruce Knob to the mouth of the Potomac. It's a great tragedy that the early loggers didn't leave any remnants of the earlier forests.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

There are a few spots relatively close that still have some old growth if you drive up towards Maryland. Those stands of old growth are amazing.

@paulencarnacion 3 года назад

Very interesting, and nice historical background. Thanks for sharing.

@RooftopsofAmerica 3 года назад

Thanks for checking it out! Cheers!

@Chris-we9pb 3 года назад

Great video, really great to get an idea of the region as well as the high point itself. Will be going back up soon!

@RooftopsofAmerica 3 года назад

Thank you! That whole area of West Virginia has a lot of natural beauty to it.

@cindywho134 5 лет назад

That's beautiful. I'd like to visit there sometime.

@RooftopsofAmerica 5 лет назад

It really is a cool area. This barely scratches the surface!

@dianewilson5516 2 года назад

It's very beautiful there. How's the fishing 🎣 there? I'd bet camping there would be nice 🙂!

@RooftopsofAmerica 2 года назад

Not sure about the fishing but there are lots of great places to camp in the area!

@jerrodborder9793 5 лет назад

Great Video!! Keep them coming.. how many high points do you have left until you get all 50!

@RooftopsofAmerica 5 лет назад

Thanks! I'm currently at 32 out of 56. (I wanted the extra challenge of the territories as well.)

@jerrodborder9793 5 лет назад

Rooftops of America Congrats I’ll hit 20 this week 56???

@RooftopsofAmerica 5 лет назад

Those extra six are DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Marianas.

@lisabrowndesign 4 года назад

Great video! Any tips on seeing the Milky Way here? I was hoping to take my kids to see it there, as there's little light pollution.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

If the skies are clear you should have a beautiful view. There is open space in the summit area you could easily stand several telescopes up on the tower itself. There are also several spots on the trail encircling the summit that will allow for stargazing. Best of luck!

@blakeadkins138 4 года назад

If the skies are clear you’ll have no problem. The Milky Way is more visible during certain parts of the night. Right now, it’s more visible a few hours before sunrise and a few hours after sunset in the fall. Check the lunar cycle and shoot for a new moon or when the moon will not be present in the sky.

@emilyavidon2421 4 года назад

Any chance that you will do The U.S. Minor Outlying Islands Highpoint, looking forward to New Jersey, New York, and New England, I also have a youtube channel, The Highpoints of the States and Territories, I am going to visit Mt. Davis, Hoye-Crest, And Spruce Knob, they will be #9,#10, and #11. Great video.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

I've always planned for the major territories, and if I can somehow figure it out both Navassa and Palmyra Atoll for the smaller ones. As for the rest of them it be awesome but right now not at all feasible for me. I'll check out your channel! Always down for supporting other highpointers in this pursuit. I plan to take my son to PA, MD, and WV in the very near future for his first visit. Cheers!

@emilyavidon2421 4 года назад

@@RooftopsofAmerica I would say that those two are the most important minor territory highpoints, because Palmyra is Organized, and Navassa is the highest of the minor territories, with 279 foot Dunning Hill. Also, do you go to the conventions.

@RooftopsofAmerica 4 года назад

@@emilyavidon2421 I have not been to a convention yet. The Rooftops crew was planning to go to the Konvention in Nevada this year and film Boundary Peak in the process. Unfortunately COVID throw all our plans out the window. Hopefully next year!

At some point in the future I'll be updating the Spruce Knob episode. That is a nice tidbit of information. Thanks for sharing!
