Virginia

A key stage of America's colonial and founding history, with the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park and the Historic Triangle each offering their own appeal.

Virginia lies in the middle of the U.S. East Coast, with terrain stretching from the Atlantic coastal plain to the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains in the west. Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown form the Historic Triangle; Jefferson's Monticello and Washington's Mount Vernon are also popular historic sites. Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway are top spots for fall colors, and Roanoke is the gateway city to the southwestern mountains. Spring and fall are best. Northern Virginia can be reached via Dulles and Reagan airports.
