There are now 43 Almost Heaven photo-op swings available throughout the state, making it easy for travelers to snag a picture-perfect photo during their summer travels. Travelers are encouraged to share their photos on social media using #AlmostHeaven.
“There continues to be an outpouring of interest and excitement in our locally-crafted Almost Heaven swings,” said Chelsea Ruby, West Virginia Department of Tourism secretary. “West Virginia is home to the most beautiful landscapes, and I invite travelers to experience a screen-free summer in Almost Heaven. It’s not too late to plan your mountain escape!”
