From the mountaintops to the valley lows and everywhere else the light touches, dazzling colors saturate forest canopies with vibrant yellows and oranges and fiery shades of red that reflect the waning warmth of the autumn sun. West Virginia might be home to four incredible seasons, but fall always leaves us in awe of nature’s beauty.
