Bluefield, WV

united states

Bluefield perches in West Virginia's southern mountains near the Virginia border, connected by US Routes 52 and 460. The city sits at 2,600 feet elevation, creating cooler summers than surrounding areas. Route 52 links north to Charleston and south through Virginia, while Route 460 runs east-west toward Virginia's valleys. The famous local tradition involves free lemonade whenever temperatures hit 90 degrees, a rare treat at this mountain elevation.
