Ahead of Valentine’s Day, a nearby West Virginia getaway is getting some love from a national travel critic.
Terry Ward, a contributor for Travel & Leisure magazine, published a glowing review on Friday following her first-ever trip to the Canaan Valley – home to Blackwater Falls and the little town of Davis, West Virginia.
Ward wrote that the valley’s come-as-you-are attitude, its easy access to major cities like Washington, and its naturally whiter winters make it a great cold weather escape.
Governor Jim Justice reacted to the article, saying on social media that “people all over the world” are discovering the Mountain State.
