That's actually what I thought might be the case, especially since the trail crosses the state line at one point. It seems the AT is in WV at that point but that the cliffs themselves might be in VA. It's confusing. The author of a popular guidebook lists the site as a VA one, but he makes a few mistakes in his book.

Some Additional DetailsThat right turn off Route 7 (heading west) is onto 679, also known as Pine Grove Road.
Also, the high point above Raven Rocks is 1,454 feet, so the top of the climbing area must be somewhat lower than that.

Re: Some Additional DetailsThanks. I wasn't sure from the map where the exact spot or elevation was, so the coords and elevation were a guess.

Re: Some Additional DetailsWhile I'm at it - I'd say the coordinates are more like 39.139281, -77.837869. It's West Virginia.
