West Virginia truly is “Wild and Wonderful” as their slogan says.

West Virginia offers spectacular mountains, swirling rivers, and scenic countryside, a welcome change of pace from the pressures of everyday life. You’ll find friendly cities full of fun and nightlife. From wild to tame, from fancy resorts to rustic retreats, West Virginia truly has something for everyone. West Virginia is called “The Mountain State,” which gives some idea of the outdoor adventures found there. West Virginia is bordered by Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky.

West Virginia travel is a delight because of the short distances between major points of interest. Essentially the state is a road-trip heaven. This allows visitors to cover many attractions in a West Virginia vacation instead of having to stick to one region and missing out on others. Driving around West Virginia, with its hills and creeks and rivers and forests and mountaintop vistas, is a grand experience in and of itself. If you want to ski or snowboard, you’ll be thrilled with the amount of snow, and snow-making on top of that, that you’ll enjoy hitting the slopes on a West Virginia vacation. With an abundance of  National Recreation Areas and state parks, it’s no wonder West Virginia tourism revolves around the outdoors. Visitors looking for a more urban-life West Virginia travel experience should head to the state capital of Charleston or the city of Huntington. Both offer all the amenities you’d expect to find in an urban area yet have a small-town charm that keeps visitors coming back for more.

It is a state rich in natural resources, physical beauty, and traditional life styles, West Virginia’s main charm is that of being “off the beaten path”.
