West Virginia

A mountain state lying entirely within Appalachia, with outstanding canyon rafting, forests and fall foliage.

West Virginia lies in the eastern United States, entirely within the Appalachian region, with rugged terrain and heavy forest cover. New River Gorge National Park is known for its canyon bridge, rock climbing and whitewater rafting; Monongahela National Forest is great for hiking and foliage viewing; Harpers Ferry, at the eastern tip where two rivers meet, is a Civil War history town; and The Greenbrier resort has a long history. Fall foliage is at its best in autumn, and summer is good for outdoor sports. The main gateway is Charleston's airport, and the east can be reached via airports in the Washington area.
