Davis Is One Of West Virginia’s Most Picturesque Small Towns To Visit Each Autumn

Although it may be better known as a winter wonderland, this tiny mountain town of around 650 people is the perfect place for leaf peeping.

Sitting at an elevation of 3,200 feet, this small town is the highest incorporated town in the state. It's no surprise that Davis is a popular skiing destination in colder months.

But its location, surrounded by beautiful mountains and forest, also make it one of the best places to watch the leaves change in autumn.

In fact, Davis holds an entire Leaf Peepers Festival each year in late September to celebrate this dazzling transformation.

Visitors can take a scenic walk, drive or bike ride in the nearby Monongahela National Forest to relax and unwind.
