| Skyland in Shenandoah. Condos near Canaan Valley. |
| Ski resorts have summer activities. Massanutten, liberty, Canaan, wisp, wintergreen, etc. |
| Laurel Highlands in PA. Was there a few weeks ago and had to wear a jacket until afternoon some days. |
| Just got back from my inlaws in western PA. There was a high of 80 degrees and it drops into the 50s/60s at night. |
| Shenandoah or Blackwater Falls State Park in WV. |
| Deep Creek Lake |
| Davis, WV/ Canaan Valley/ Blackwater. Highs for this weekend are in the 80s. |
| We were just in Wintergreen and while it was 92 last weekend, it was 76 there. I actually got cold at night and had to put on a sweatshirt |
| Nemacolin resort in Pennsylvania. Great kids programs if you want some time without the kids to swim/bike/fly fish/skeet shoot/off-road driving school/etc without the kids. The spa is awesome and the rooms and resort are lovely but the grounds of the resort are the often unspoken star -- beautiful. |
| Intellicast has a temp map, Garrett County Md is historically known for cooler summer temps. Right now it is 77 degrees in Oakland, Md with lows in the mid-50s at night, and 72 in McHenry Md, 50s-60s at night per forecast...McHenry is right on the shores of Deep Creek Lake. |
