Beth Copenhaver
Beth Copenhaver is a Virginia-based writer who has lived in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains for nearly a decade. For Only In Your State, she covers hiking trails, locally-owned restaurants, and under-the-radar destinations across Virginia — places that rarely make it onto major tourism maps but absolutely should. A devotee of last-minute day trips and mountain views, Beth approaches Virginia with the firsthand, unhurried curiosity of someone who has spent years exploring it one back road at a time.
