点评:It doesn’t take long from the center of town/Main Street to drive up to the peak of Cacapon Mountain to visit the scenic overlook.
There is parking at the scenic overlook at the guard rail. And the guard rail is lit up with outdoor fairy lights.
The views are spectacular. You could see three states. West Virginia on the right, Maryland on the left, and in the far straight back is Pennsylvania mountains. The dividing line between Maryland and West Virginia in the scenic overlook is the Potomac River. There’s a couple of placards at the overlook to learn more about the scene and the landscape and how George Washington walked through the area. On the way up, there’s a unique castle on the side of the mountain, not sure if it’s a private residence or a bed-and-breakfast. But you could see that in the photos. And then as you descend the mountain on the other side, you can go into a little small town Called Great Cacapon. There wasn’t much in little small town as you went over a bridge other than a local café where there were a lot of local residence hanging out at.
Of course scenic overlook is free and you could spend about 15 minutes or so taking in the spectacular views. Well worth a trip up the mountain it doesn’t take long.
翻译:从镇中心/主街开车到卡卡蓬山顶观景台只需很短的时间。
观景台护栏旁设有停车场,护栏上还装饰着户外彩灯。
景色壮丽无比。您可以远眺三个州:右侧是西弗吉尼亚州,左侧是马里兰州,远处笔直地是宾夕法尼亚州的群山。在观景台,波托马克河是马里兰州和西弗吉尼亚州的分界线。观景台上设有几块标牌,介绍周围的景色和地貌,以及乔治·华盛顿当年走过这片区域的经历。上山途中,山腰上有一座独特的城堡,我不确定它是私人住宅还是民宿,但您可以在照片中看到它。下山后,您可以前往一个名为大卡卡蓬的小镇。穿过一座桥,来到一个小镇,除了当地一家咖啡馆外,没什么特别的,很多居民都喜欢在那里消磨时光。
当然,观景台是免费的,你可以花大约15分钟欣赏壮丽的景色。非常值得上山一趟,而且花不了多少时间。
