At Miracle Mountain, the Almost Heaven swing is a quiet little reward with big McDowell County views. Take a seat, breathe in the ridge air, and let the mountains do what they do best. Who would you bring for this photo-worthy pause?

The West Virginia Way

10/23/2026

Turns out, one of the best ways to see West Virginia’s fall colors is from an ATV!!🍂

We spent the day exploring the Hatfield-McCoy Trails in McDowell County with The West Virginia Way, and we’re already ready to go back!

And if you’ve never been ATVing, The West Virginia Way makes it easy to give it a try. They offer rentals, guided tours, and places to stay throughout McDowell County.

Have you ever ridden the Hatfield-McCoy Trails? We’d love to hear about it! 👇

We’re calling the Maybeury Mansion (AKA Powerhouse Mansion) in McDowell County home for a few days, and mornings like this make it hard to leave!

Who would you bring for a stay here? 👇

Step inside the Jack Caffrey Arts and Cultural Center in downtown Welch and McDowell County’s story comes into focus—coal mining history, local headlines, and everyday pieces of coal camp life preserved with care. Make it a history stop on your next visit.

Come hungry in McDowell County. Start the day with a classic breakfast at Ashland’s Coal Camp Cafe, then wind down at Indian Ridge Bar & Grill with a shareable basket and a cold drink after the trails. Which local bite are you ordering first?
