Lifelong resident of 53years. Great video but you only scratched the surface. Come back and enjoy more as soon as you can, we enjoy people coming and taking in the natural beauty.
We absolutely loved the nature, the rivers, the mountains and everything this state has to offer. Unfortunately we were limited on time, but will definitely have a part 2 to our WV Adventure. Anything you'd recommend?
Born and raised in West Virginia. I know every single point in this state and you found Lindy Point and I will say it is one of the best kept secrets in West Virginia. Very well done.
@@travelwithbo bridge day or moundsville penn in mid to late October has a haunted house supposed to be one of the top ones in the state. Maybe wvu campus or downtown. Cheat lake. If you like hiking or outdoors take your pick.
My home state also. I was at Blackwater Falls visiting once and the DNR flew a helicopter next to the falls and tossed trout into the pool at the bottom.. Greenbank is very special... I am thrilled you all liked it... Come back some time.... I was born and raised in Buckhannon, WV just a few miles from Weston...
Great video of my home state. There is an overlook on the other side of Blackwater Falls that is wheelchair accessible too. I’m doing the bridge walk in a couple of weeks!
Climbed with two experienced rock-climbers (Chris & Bill) to the top of Seneca rocks in June of 1995. Got the pictures to prove it! Fantastic experience but I still remember how glad I was to back to ground level! And ONCE was enough! L.O.L.
@@travelwithbo It was! But when I was back down & my breathing returned to normal, I asked Chris if I had been in any real danger while I was "up there?" He shook his head & said "Up there? "Not really." "LAST NIGHT in the campground when you were snoring, I was ready to kill you!"
One of my favorite views in West Virginia is Olson Fire Tower. You have to climb up this sketch old fire tower, but if you catch it at sunset, especially in the fall, it’s breathtaking! Anyway it’s amazing I’m still finding places to go in my own state. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great video Bo - lots of great tips and info! I took my first trip to WV recently, seeing most of the great spots in the national park. Your video gave me many new ideas, so I can’t wait to go back and see more. Have a great holiday!
You chose some of the best places ever to visit in WV. I am a native West Virginian and love Blackwater Falls. The steps down to the Falls is a bit much for older people. Lindy Point is located near the classic cabins. Glad you visited my favorite state and had a great time. Right on about cell phone service as well as gas stations,. In some areas of WV, they are few and far between.
Chimney rock is just up the road from smoke hole caverns on smoke hole road. It’s a heavy hike but very worth is. If you’re checking out Seneca you may a we’ll do this one also. Very worth it.
Very well done Video!!!! I like all the places you have shown in this video about my home state. I especially like how you always list the cost of getting into the places you have shown us. I will subscribe to your channel because you do an excellent job of videoing and also telling us where we are seeing and not just the same old same old video information I see in so many other videos of WV.
@@travelwithbo Thanks.... Actually it's in the process of being listed, the broker and realtor feels i can make a considerable profit with the upgrades i made, time will tell.
Great video! I'm a native and you hit a lot of the high points that would interest tourists. Beckley isn't too far from New River Gorge and has Tamarack and the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine. I highly recommend both. Our capital building here in my hometown of Charleston is one of the nicest in the country and has a great museum/cultural center beside it. If you come back, you may do some white water rafting as well. 🙂
Well done! Very entertaining & informative! There are so many beautiful spots to explore in W. Virginia. Thanks for sharing the beauty of this state with us. New sub here! 👍
That looks like a really beautiful place! Thanks for making this video. I have been looking for some place like this! Do you recommend moving there? What small city would you recommend if I were to move there? I love nature and all it has to offer. All I need is a roof over my head and a garden plot and nature! Oh and a good SUV that will get me where I need to go 😀
Definitely a very beautiful and underrated state 🙌 The best thing to do for you would probably be just going on a road trip and doing some exploring for yourself. See all the cities and towns, talk to locals, get a feel for it... and see where you like it most. Good luck
@@travelwithbo Thank you Bo! Perhaps I should contact Tina from the WVP (next post) or study Areavibes to see cost of living differences and local amenities. Thank you for responding!
You missed a couple of things...Lake SHawnee Abandoned Amusement Park, the abandoned railraod town of Thurmond, the city of CHarleston, the highest point in WV - Spruce Knob, Dolly Sods, Point PLeasant - the home of the Mothman, and Marshall University.
You should have more followers..your vlog is very informative and not like those vloggers who talk to fast that you dont understand what they're saying..😊Keep it up
The whole trip took us about 3 days. But we don't slow down and always just go go go... I believe it would be more relaxing for the average tourist to do this in 4-6 days
For us it was 3 days and 2 nights. But honestly I think for most people it would have to be 4 or more. We usually just go go go and never slow down with all our trips 😅
Thank you for the kind words, glad you liked it 😊🙌 if you like these kinds of informational travel videos check out our other videos. Editing Tampa Florida right now 🚗🏖
We didn't really focus on visiting specific "cities." The goal was to stop at cool/iconic places and make a loop around the whole state. Some of the coolest nature spots and views were actually between cities in the middle of nowhere. You'll find an exact list in the description 👇 next month I'm actually planning to make a road trip through VA 🏞🚗 super excited 🙌
Unfortunately we did not have the time to do whitewater rafting. But a lot of the locals were recommending it. I'm planning on coming back and doing that one day

Lindy Point was probably my favorite spot there! Didn't want to leave but just stay and absorb the magnificence 🙌
Very very chill...I love this state..I live about the middle of it... And love this big ole playground... You did excellent with this
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 means a lot coming from somebody who lives there
I’ve lived in moundsville my entire life. Love it here! That bridge and penitentiary are a mainstay. So is the mound!
We loved the nature of WV so much that we might do another road trip. Any suggestions on what we missed?
@@travelwithbo bridge day or moundsville penn in mid to late October has a haunted house supposed to be one of the top ones in the state. Maybe wvu campus or downtown. Cheat lake. If you like hiking or outdoors take your pick.
Awesome, thanks. I did hear about Bridge Day
@@travelwithbo I went once many years ago as a child with my parents. It was kind of cool. Probably better as an adult lol
Great video! Born and raised and love it! Don't believe the negativity you hear about WV!
I must say, I had only great experiences traveling through West Virginia and exploring your beautiful state!
My home state also. I was at Blackwater Falls visiting once and the DNR flew a helicopter next to the falls and tossed trout into the pool at the bottom.. Greenbank is very special... I am thrilled you all liked it... Come back some time.... I was born and raised in Buckhannon, WV just a few miles from Weston...
Definitely gonna have to come back 🙌
Hey, I was born in Buckhanon too, St Joseph's Hospital. But, I grew up in Wetzel County. Have lived in Minnesota for last 40 years.
Now I’m going to have to plan a trip to West Virginia…..skipping the bridge walk. Me and heights don’t get a long.
Well, the trip is already planned for you 😉 definitely worth it, you'll love it 🏞🚗
Green bank and Cass is my childhood
A very beautiful state , for sure
It is a beautiful state indeed. Didn't even expect it to be so pretty 🙌
Great video of my home state. There is an overlook on the other side of Blackwater Falls that is wheelchair accessible too. I’m doing the bridge walk in a couple of weeks!
Such a beautiful state!
Enjoy the Bridge Walk! The first few steps can be a little scary 😅
Another West Virginian here! Glad you discovered the Wild and Wonderful! Lots of more epic places to see if you ever get to venture this way again!
Can you give me some names/ideas so I know what to look for? Maybe I'll make a part 2 some day
@@travelwithbo I'll work on that. You were right in Lewisburg where I live and with the places I am so familiar with.
Hope I did those places justice 🙌
Great video! Nelson Rocks was just 13.5 miles South of Seneca Rocks. Another awesome thrill seeker destination
Unfortunately we didn't get there. I'll have to check it out online
Great video! I have been to almost all places in your video. WV is indeed heaven....if you love nature and outdoors!
Absolutely 🙌 I did not expect to love the nature of WV so much 🏞🚗😍

Great video! Heading to WV next week and will definitely do a few of your recommendations.
Awesome! That's the best compliment I can get 🙌 enjoy your trip ☺️

Thank you for the tip 🤙will have to check it out next time
A hurricane named helene destroyed it..

Nice, i live and work in NC but i have a hideaway/house in Quinwood, i need to check out that cave, 14.00 is a good deal!!
Absolutely. It's worth checking it out! And I'm low-key jealous about the hideaway house 👏😅
@@travelwithbo Thanks.... Actually it's in the process of being listed, the broker and realtor feels i can make a considerable profit with the upgrades i made, time will tell.

I actually didn't get to see your capital. And white water rafting does sound fun too 🙌 hopefully next time 😊
@@travelwithbo Let me know, I'll give you a tour of Charleston!
Very nice!
Glad you liked it Cindy 😊🙌
Gosh I love my state ❤
I did not expect myself to love the nature in WV so much 🙌😍
Greatest State….👍
Thank you for including the prices. I’m always on a budget. Lol.
Absolutely! So are we 😅
There are many things on this list that are free 🙌
Great video
Thank you 🤗
You should’ve checked out Nelson Rocks. It’s a few minute drive from Seneca Rocks. That’s all in my area where I live.
Absolutely! By the time I realized how close we were, it was too late. I'm sad we missed it 🫤
Beautiful 😍🙏🏻
The nature was absolutely stunning 🙌😍 thank you for the comment Shilpa 🤙
Awesome video

Thank you for the kind words Christlyn 🙏 just doing my best to provide value 🌎😊
Hello 🤠🤚
I wander how long did it take
To do that trip to all those places who knows days hours
Is very interesting
The whole trip took us about 3 days. But we don't slow down and always just go go go... I believe it would be more relaxing for the average tourist to do this in 4-6 days
thank you soooo much for all the time awesome videos
👋🤠
@@RegulusDLion thank you 😊
That insane asylum is one of the best places I’ve ever been. It’s actually heart moving.
Yeah... the history of the asylum is rich but also sad. It's definitely an emotional journey visiting that place
I'm thinking about moveing there..
Any particular reason? Do you have family there? Work opportunities? Or just because you like the nature there?
@@travelwithboI'm going to be retiring in the near future...😊
What was your favorite tourist attraction in WV and which ones did we miss in this vide?
Butterflies I had baby barfs just watching!!!!
😂🤣
it would be great if they have Bungee jumping from that bridge)))
One a year on "bridge day" they have bungee jumping, base jumping and all kinds of other crazy stuff there
Bridge day is 3rd sat in october
@@allowatt123 good to know, thanks Frank 🤙
How many days to spend in a trip like this?
For us it was 3 days and 2 nights. But honestly I think for most people it would have to be 4 or more. We usually just go go go and never slow down with all our trips 😅

Thanks for the guide and suggestions Bo! We followed the same route over 4 nights. Wish I could have stayed longer. WV was fun and beautiful❤❤❤
That hotel in Moorefield is pronounced Mul-lens.
Thank you 🙏😊
And I thought VA was amazing!!!! How far off is Roanoke VA as I absolutely love it there! I don’t remember hearing any specific towns listed

Sounds good. Thanks for reaching out 🤙
@@travelwithbo yessirrr!!
Didn't show anything about whitewater rafting
Unfortunately we did not have the time to do whitewater rafting. But a lot of the locals were recommending it. I'm planning on coming back and doing that one day
Shhhhh .bro really don't tell them
🤫
you missed dolly sods
spruce knob
cass railroad
Gonna have to Google those 🧐
