West Virginia is the only state to lie entirely within a mountain range—the Appalachians. It might not be the best-known vacation destination, but the many areas of pristine mountain beauty and exciting activities for outdoor enthusiasts means that this is one little state with a lot to offer.
Do you like white water rafting, kayaking, skiing, climbing, golf, mountain biking or hiking? Then consider West Virginia for your next vacation. Located just south of Pennsylvania, West Virginia is often thought of as the northernmost state of the south, or the southernmost state of the north. This status as the borderland between two distinct regions means that nearly 60 percent of the U.S. population lives within 500 miles of West Virginia. The state’s blend of north and south also means it has its own special atmosphere. You’ll find quaint towns tucked into pretty valleys, tasty home-cooked food, local handicrafts and a variety of pioneer and Civil War historical sites, all delivered with a relaxed northern dialect of a southern drawl.
