In his song, Take Me Home Country Roads, John Denver describes West Virginia as "almost heaven." I experienced a little slice of heaven when I briefly passed through West Virginia on my way home from a road trip to the East Coast in October 2002.
I crossed West Virginia's "panhandle," a narrow wedge of land between Pennsylvania and Ohio. At the point where I crossed the state, it is only 17 miles (27 kilometers) from the Pennsylvania state line to the Ohio state line. Therefore, I actually did not get to see much of the Mountain State. However, I spent some time in Wheeling, West Virginia's second-largest city, and saw some of the attractions in the area.
I returned to West Virginia in April 2009 when I visited my brother, who moved to Morgantown in the northern part of the state. I was able to see and experience some of the sights and attractions in the Morgantown area, and they are reflected in new tips and pictures on this page.

Very interesting tips on the retired Penitentiary as well as that ancient burial mound! You don't hear much about this state so I was intrigued enough to make a short trip there many years ago. Nice additions with Coopers Rock State Forest and Morgantown! | terible22 Sat Nov 1, 2008 15:07 UTC
Never been to Wheeling, I stayed in Summersville 2 months ago. Nice Page | Kuznetsov_Sergey Fri Jan 25, 2008 18:30 UTC
A very interesting tip about the West Virginia Penitentiary. This prison looks like a middle age castle. I would like to experience "Life on the Inside." Thanks David! | Doctor38 Mon Nov 5, 2007 09:58 UTC
