WEST VIRGINIA: The MOST MYSTICAL places to visit on a ROAD TRIP

The Hatfield and McCoy's trails are easy when you stay on the main trail system their are a few that shoot off of the main trail system that have super deep mud holes and harder terrain but all in all the main trail system is easy and fun but here is the best tip don't go on them on the weekends because the amount if traffic of four wheelers and side by sides is dangerous. I have done it a bunch of times but will only do the trail system on week days.

It's so refreshing to see someone who discovers the wonders of the beautiful state of West Virginia themselves, instead of basing their opinion on the stereotypes created by cruel people. We have a wonderful state filled with wonderful people. I wish others would visit us and decide for themselves.

As a native Mountaineer, I love when people appreciate our beautiful state

I’m from Marion County, West Virginia and the everyday West Virginian country lifestyle is enough to make me feel happy about my life. 💙💛🤠

I wake up every morning and thank God I was born in WV. I love this old mountain lady. Born here, plan to die here and become a permanent part of the state I love.

Thank You for highlighting my beautiful state. Believe it or not, there are still people who don't know that West Virginia is a state in itself, and not just the western part of Virginia. Can't tell you how many times I've said "I'm from West Virginia" and they say, "Oh, you're from Virginia". I recently had a phone activated and the customer service employee gave me a Virginia number!

Thank you for visiting our beautiful state and for being kind. As a child growing up in WV, my dad took us camping every weekend in the summer, somewhere in WV. There are 100s of awesome places to visit in WV. You should try Seneca rocks and caves, Sinks of Gandy, Cass Scenic Railroad just to name a few.

Driving the back country roads is truly one of the great joys of West Virginia. I prefer to do it in classic Brit sports cars, but to each their own. I must say that the New River Gorge bridge was a major improvement in that part of the State. I was one of the first people over it once officially opened. Ironically, the New River is considered by geologists to be one of the oldest rivers in the world.

At age 16 I married a 17-year-old man from WV. He lived 4 miles down the road from Hookstown, Pennsylvania, where I was born at home and raised. I moved with his family in WV the night we married in May of 1972 until we found a place in Chester, WV. Now, I have lived here for over 50 years at the very tip of the teapot shape of WV. Ohio is within 5 miles, so we are the tri-state area. We have the world's largest teapot here! In addition, I love this state! It IS beautiful. I have traveled through the state from the tip to the bottom. It is all scenic and wonderful. My father made part of the pieces used in making the New River Bridge. He is gone now, but every time I visit, the bridge reminds me that a part of my dad's strong hands will be there for people from all over the world! Thanks for sharing your trip to WV. I loved the fact it is a bike video. Long ago my husband and I owned bikes and I was the first gal in my area (Or for as far as I had ever gone.) to drive. My hubby taught me to drive and I have never enjoyed being a RIDER ever since those years! Also, I truly loved those windy backwood roads. West Liberty is awesome to ride to, a beautiful, quaint college town. West Liberty University is way out in the countryside, nestled among farms. Check it out!

I was born and raised in southern West Virginia. The people and the culture is so different and wonderful. The people are very nice and maybe sometimes closed off. They protect their own. Its SO beautiful and I miss it every single day!! I see traveling by bike looks so fun! ❤

My oldest son attended University in West Virginia, close to where you rode in Bluefield and the New River Gorge Bridge. It is beautiful, scenic country, mostly untouched by the ravages of modern day life thanks in part I think to it’s long time association with coal, which has become less and less demanded it seems over the course of the 20th century. I had no idea of the Bramwell history and the Route 16 riding is now on my bucket list. Thanks as always for the great blend of history, scenery and riding.

That was some gorgeous country !!!! And the history with your stories were very intriguing! THANK YOU as always for sharing with us.

Thank you for visiting my beautiful home state. You journey often gave me chills, those lovely country roads are called hollars in Southern WV lol 💙💛 #almostheaven

Thanks for a great video with wonderful production values! To me, WV is one of the most underrated states in the U.S. Of course, it is not an “East coast” state, but rather is considered culturally to be where the ‘south meets the north’, (that’s how residents describe it.) Thurmond and the gorge are amazing. If you like the paranormal, spooky stuff, check out the penitentiary in Moundsville sometime. I’m so glad to find your channel and look forward to more of your videos soon . . .keep up the great work!

Thank you Lea for a magnificent ride through West Virginia, sadly one of the few states I had not ridden through. Now I wish I had. Be safe and enjoy for all of us.

Thank you for taking me thru my old stomping grounds and even showing me some new things! Love your adventurous spirit 💛😊

I love my home and I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit!!

I enjoy your West Virginia videos because your doing what used to do before becoming disabled. My dad side of the family is from central West Virginia and I would spend 1 to 3 months every other year there. I visited relatives but mainly drive the back roads and visit the sites, small towns and eat at the hole in the wall mom and pop restaurants. I really miss visiting West Virginia.

Fun fact: The New River gorge bridge eliminated one of the longest and most historic barriers to commerce East of the Rocky Mountains when it was finished. The bridge turned a 1 1/2 lane treacherous 1 hour drive into a 1 minute transit of the gorge. As a kayaker who paddled the gorge when the bridge was newly completed I remember the shuttle service down into the gorge put in was considered by many of us to be a more dangerous undertaking than running the Cl 4/5 rapids in the gorge itself. The road into the Cunard put in 7 river miles upstream of the Fayette Station bridge was still a dirt road back then and for most of us the descent into the gorge was accomplished via a shuttle service on a flat bed truck bouncing around with all the boats. Quite the adventure.

It was really nice to see your ride through my neck of the woods. I get to ride in this area all the time and think it’s the one of the prettier places in the country.
