About Discover West Virginia

This blog is about exploring the beautiful State of West Virginia. My wife and I have been hiking in West Virginia for the past 20 years and have found some unique and beautiful places off the beaten path. I am also a photographer and have published more than 60 magazine articles, many in Wonderful West Virginia, describing our discoveries. I am especially interested in the waterfalls, wildflowers, and landscapes of West Virginia. Hope you'll join me as we Discover West Virginia.

Term Break has ended! Apart getting to see our friends again, we all have group projects to do! NYP has lots of conducive places to study, but here are my top 5 best picks! #1: Smart Learning Spaces   Location: NYP Library, Block A, Level 4 North Wing Air-conditioned? � Check! Quiet? � Check! Power sockets? � Check! Located within the Library�s Smart Learning Hub, the Smart Learning Spaces are basically rooms that can be booked through our NYP portal. Each room is enclosed, meaning that you will be able to block out noise, and brainstorm with your group in peace!  Also, it comes with plenty of power points J . Only caveat?

Enjoy! 1.    Outdoor Amphitheatre Think of performance venues at NYP, and the auditorium or the Theatre for the Arts usually comes to mind.  But we have another outdoor performance venue: tucked away near the sports stadium, is an often overlooked amphitheatre. This 500-seater has mainly hosted CCA meetings, school-related activities and musical events. It�s got a dramatic dome that makes it perfect for drama performances, or for students of ancient Greek philosophy in togas. We�re kidding about the togas. 2.    Beach Volleyball Sand Pit There is no need to travel to Sentosa for a game of beach volleyball! There are dedicated sand pits at our own sports stadium. Head to the stadium, and they�re on the right side of the track, visible from th...
