We all know West Virginia is a beautiful state, with many beautiful scenes. But there are certain views and scenery that define a place. Here are the images that come to mind (or should) when you first think of West Virginia.
- Country roads like this one.

- Mountain streams and waterfalls like this one.

- Babcock State Park.
John Mueller The grist mill at Babcock State Park is one of the most photographed spots in West Virginia, and for good reason.
- Seneca Rocks.

- The state Capitol in Charleston.
