Scenic Route - Mapping the Sods

Artist's note:
There is something magical, awe-inspiring, and empowering for me about Dolly Sods and the feeling of being truly on top of the world surveying the surroundings below. The red huckleberry bushes blush so bright in the autumn against the mottled rocks and brilliant blue sky. ~Katy

This captivating watercolor painting, another incredible work of Katherine Crim, features Dolly Sods Wilderness. The feature overlays a vintage West Virginia map, capturing its wind-shaped pine trees, vibrant mountain flora, and the red cardinal, the state bird. The artwork beautifully blends natural elements with cartographic details, reflecting the essence of the 17,371-acre wilderness spanning Grant, Randolph, and Tucker Counties.

Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia is a wild and beautiful place with open meadows, rocky trails, and stunning views. The high mountain plateau has unique plants, red spruce trees, and windy, open spaces. Hikers love its peaceful trails, colorful fall leaves, and the feeling of being in untouched nature.
