The first few miles of Road 12 leads travelers through a valley along the Anthracite Creek before ascending fairly quickly to higher elevations within the Elk Mountains.

We rarely, if ever, take time just to think … to be still, someplace quiet. So rarely resting in our waking moments.

Some say our modern Read More
