Diminutive, yes, but packed with action both outdoorsy/active & cultural/sophisticated.

    West Virginia's Only National Park is One of the Most Underrated—How to Visit
    A visit to the newest U.S. national park means adrenaline-filled outdoor adventures, fall foliage, and craft beers.

    We´re all so accustomed to thinking automatically of New England when it comes to fall foliage that it can come as a bit of surprise where else the leaf peeping is also pretty spectacular. And Travel+Leisure reminds us of the many possibilities of the Mountain State: https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/fall-vacations/west-vir...

    A beautiful 4K montage of five of WV's top tourism draws during fall foliage season. And the soundtrack? What else but John Denver: "West Virginia, mountain mama - take me home, country roads" lol https://youtu.be/3DCt67e5Wo4

    Check out the Upper Big Branch Miners Memorial in Whitesville, WV. We opened the memorial in July of 2012 after seven months of construction. An explosion at the Upper Big Branch Coal Mine claimed the lives of twenty-nine men and injured two others on April 5th, 2010. The aftermath of the explosion injured countless more. This memorial is dedicated to their honor.

    A few weeks ago I wrote about the bunker -- Congress' fallout shelter -- at The Greenbrier. Now NBC has covered this same story. Is this scary enough for you?

    I just learned that the Greenbriar Resort, founded in 1778, served as an upscale internment camp for high-level Japanese and Nazi captives during World War II. It had a defense-related function after World War II, as well. Know what that was?
