Nothing like setting top of high mt. For hours in peace And quiet the wild animals & only your self. Or trout fishing where maybe see 1 person every 3 or 4 days. Fix nightly the native brown trout we have on open fire in cast iron skillet. Get away from larger cities even the air smells so much better & fresh than anywhere else I ever been.
I can't express enough how incredible the majesty of this video is for me. For a West Virginian. Thank you so much, brother. This helps us more than you know...
Beautiful video!!! Every fall I drive from Wheeling to the bottom of the state to capture our states vibrant leaf colors, attend festivals, go hiking, and eat delicious food. When I return from another state or country I light up upon seeing our state's scenery. Breathtaking:)
Nice job Alex. I have done a little time lapse in some of those areas (Dolly Sods, NR Gorge, Blackwater Canyon) and I know how much work it takes to shoot and edit. Excellent!!
Amazing Camping Places In West Virginia. The Top 15: Summersville Lake, Spruce Knobb, Coopers Rock State Park, Bluestone State Park, Seneca Rocks State Park, New River Gorge National Forest, AudraState Park, Tygart Lake State Park, North Bend State Park, BeechFork State Park, Hawks Nest State Park, Pipestem State Park, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Holly River State Park, Big Bear Lake Camplands.....West Virginia’s motto is “wild and wonderful,” and that really does describe a visit to this east coast state. Make it a point to attend the West Virginia State Fair..and of course Buckhannon's Strawberry Festival! It might not be the most popular tourist destination in America, but it’s an ideal place to check out if you like off-the-beaten path destinations with a distinct culture and a unique vibe. Take Me Home Country Roads! Buckhannon, West Virginia. Thanks for the video! ....Frostie Frigid Frog Shaved Ice...The newest coolest frozen drink in West Virginia!

That is a true representation of professional time lapse photography, I hope you do workshops. I just cannot express how fascinating it was to watch this, Truly the majesty of God’s glory
Thank you man. I'm a 13 year dirtbike rider in braxton county and with our trails we see this often but I couldn't have shown the way I thought of how beautiful it was. You are a great person and again thank you. Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong, West Virginia, take me home country roads. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU
I'm from switzerland and i know that west virginia is clearly not a terrible place. I know you have some economical issues but apart from that you live in one of the most beautiful, peaceful places in the world. Charming little towns, huge forests, stunning hills, clear rivers, friendly people, good food and a lot of history and culture. I enjoyed my visit years before so much. It was very relaxing :) I think this is the purest state in america. I heard you are making a lot of progress in the state. All the best to you!
thank you kind sire, maybe the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. I thought i was unable to have emotions for long but this video makes me melt. cant believe a place can be so beautiful and perfect .. thank you again now i have something to try for.
I think this is the most beautifully shot footage I have ever seen. I have seen several of these sights in person, and they look even more beautiful in this montage than they did in real life. A+ magnificent effort. Whoever put this together really did something special. J$H Friday 12.13.2019 10:19 PM
Beauty from heaven.I cant believe my eyes.Atleast I got the chance to see this beauty through your videos.Iam waiting for The blessings from almighty to see this places....
It's is truly beautiful, the mountains are magical and beauty of wv and Virginia has also a beautiful towards the beach's and coastal like feel so I have say there both have there own beauty and magical about them
Its all matter of perspective, personally I love the rugged terrain, waking up hills and the beautiFul rocks in the rivers and the wonderful mountains. If west Virginia were its own country, they would be one of the richest, just off of coal reserve alone, not to mention natural gas.
I'm from Florida, visited my sister who lives here in Fall 2018 and fell in love immediately, came back in Fall 2019, met the woman I'm soon to be married to and we both moved up to WV in Spring of 2020, I've been to many states and nothing quite like WV. Unfortunately we had to move back to FL for personal reasons but I will certainly be moving my life back to WV one day. The most beautiful place and people from the outside wouldn't understand
I love this video. It reminds me of the places I backpacked to in the northern Appalachians years ago. I also love the music you have chosen for this film...I think I could listen to it all day. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video--it truly feeds my soul!
Beautiful video highlighting the best of West Virginia. But from my travels there to whitewater canoe, I have seen horrible pollution that turned ditches into orange troughs dumping unknown substances into the waterways. The mining industry was been left unaccountable for the devastation to the natural environment.
@@mjryan2590 That orange substance your talking about is sulfur from the coal mines, high sulfur coal mining was banned in eighties. The town I live in growing up was like that, plus the whole town uses septic system so the creeks were just terrible. The mining there stopped sometime in the 1950's, recently during the Obama administration they started strip mining again. The interesting part is that when I became an adult life came back to the creeks, frogs, toads and musk rats living in then, im sure that nature will reclaim the creeks in another ten years, and even fish will be found there. The one river near by, the loyal Hannah, was at one time just like that, we would ride out there on our dirt bikes with my father and cool off in the river. My father told me when he was my age that river was as orange as the creeks in our town, and if you went into the water you would be stained Orange, from sulfur. I'm here to tell you that nature can and will come back to those areas.
True. First they cut all the timber - around 1900. Then came the coal mines and strip mining. Now gas drilling and pipe lines. This should be the richest state in the nation but it is one of the poorest. We do have natural beauty if you overlook the scars.
Just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for this skillful creative project - the visuals plus the music. I'm trying to decide between some really special places about which one to move to... it's important any of them must have really inspiring natural beauty and clearly West Virginia does fit that.💜
Just watched this...this is really good‼️As a native West Virginia I have seen these sights in the video. Best brief WV video I have watched. Well done!
Thanks Alex, I've been blessed to have stood and fished in most of those filming locations at some time in my 45 plus years in Wild, wonderful WV. Thanks again.
This is why we are such a blessed people. We are a state of strong people who love God, our family, and our country. This is the most beautiful state there every was. It's truly "Almost Heaven". Come see for yourself, Ya'll are always welcome!
Alex Wilson. Great Video! WVA suffers from so much negative stigmatism. This is a great portray of the majestic beauty of the mountains. People in the city can only dream of such peace. if they could lay there stigmatism aside and visit they would not leave disappointed. I'm going to share your video all across the Big 12 footprint. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful pick's.
Ive been to west virginia. Believe me this video aint a joke. Im here for a reason. Ever since i visited that state its taken a big piece of my heart. I want to go back and im thinking about moving there. Its like an entirely different world over their. I sont feel so tense.
Born in Ohio County and lived in Brooke County in the Northern Panhandle. This makes me so homesick. I haven't been home since 2017 and I miss it. There's no state in the country like WV.
There is a silence, a stillness, a sense of belonging, a peace that I've only found in the mountains of West Virginia. A truly magical place.
Amen!
I feel that too. It's a richness you want to surround yourself in and just take a walk through the mountains and just be at peace

Hey what do you call the people of West Virginia ......West Virginian or west Virgin .....just asking meant no offence
@@AbhishekSingh-nq4rh Don't know if you were being sarcastic, but as he literally said, the correct is "West Virginian".
I wasn't being sarcastic .....it was just for fun
@@AbhishekSingh-nq4rh oh that's fine then.
Have a good day :)
Hey i am from Germany and i love the landscape of West Virginia and one Day i want to live in the USA in West Virginia.
West Virginia is a true hidden gem. You did a fantastic job capturing this state's raw beauty.
Gorgeous! Wonderful work! I was born and raised in WV and I truly appreciate the time and effort it must have taken to capture these shots!
Cool! I have never been to West Virginia, but I will plan my artistic road trip and go there soon!
As a native who must live elsewhere, this beautiful video touches me deeply, brings tears to my eyes and encourages me to revisit as Spring blossoms!
Took my honeymoon in West Virginia with my wife, and we loved it. Beautiful state indeed, and this is a great video, as well.

I was born in West Virginia and everyone should visit there. It is truly a beautiful state.
Brings me to tears almost everytime, we first watched this when we found out we were moving to West Virginia. This state is absolutely stunning. ✨

@Vesmir nge Yeah, but NOTHING beats West By God Virginia
Well done. Lived here my whole life. Sometimes we take for granted just how beautiful this state is. Thanks for the reminder.
Stunning work, Alex. Just wrapped up a camping trip through WV for the first time and I have to say I was stunned by how beautiful it was.
This is the most breathtaking video showing the states natural beauty that I’ve ever seen!
West Virginia is truly my favorite state! It’s just a beautiful place
Nice job Alex. I have done a little time lapse in some of those areas (Dolly Sods, NR Gorge, Blackwater Canyon) and I know how much work it takes to shoot and edit. Excellent!!
Powerful pictures for the soul

Beautiful. My heart breaks every day that I’m not in West Virginia
I'm in Haughton, LA and I feel the same about here.
