Visit The Lunatic Landmark
From Redditor u/TheReaper7613:
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is a really cool landmark along with the New River Gorge Bridge. For hiking, I’d recommend around Dolly Sods. Also, I recommend trying a pepperoni roll if you have the opportunity; they are amazing!

Visit Morgantown If You Want To Hike
From Redditor u/hatefulhelp:
You could look into Morgantown (college town, fairly big relative to other towns in the state), or Davis/Thomas (small rural towns) that are close to better hiking (IMO, as someone who prefers 10+ mile hikes) and lesser-known whitewater.

Update Your GPS Before You Go
From Redditor u/celticchrys:
Update your GPS maps before you come. You can't count on a live cell or data connection at all times, so whatever maps app you use on your phone, download offline maps for the state. You can do this in Google Maps, for example, so that you can still use the map if there's no phone signal.

Keep An Eye On The Weather
From Redditor u/nowall0022:
Do research on the weather leading up to your stay. Driving in and around could be very difficult depending on snow in the mountains. Also to note: West Virginia state roads are generally more narrow than [in] other states. Along with narrow roads and possible weather, hairpin turns are abundant, so please take your time and be prepared while traveling.
