Photograph the iconic green “Welcome to West Virginia — Wild and Wonderful” roadside sign framed by rolling Appalachian hills and US‑35. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side light and long shadows; weekday mornings offer fewer cars. Small pull‑off parking; stay clear of traffic and wear hi‑vis. No entry fees; drones allowed only following FAA/local rules. Great for state‑pride shots, landscapes with foreground signage, or traffic light trails after dusk.
