Nowhere is that proven more true than in the quaint towns located throughout beautiful West Virginia.
T
ake a trip to the “heart of West Virginia” in Elkins, located on the threshold of the Monongahela National Forest. Just a short drive away is Spruce Knob, the state’s highest point and an ideal spot to take in the state’s awe-inspiring natural beauty. Immerse yourself in “America’s First Spa” in Berkeley Springs, where almost 2,000 gallons of fresh water pour out of five springs every minute at a perfect temperature of 74.3 degrees. Once you’re thoroughly relaxed, check out the charming downtown and its many shops and art galleries, or even take a selfguided walking tour.
Like hundreds of neo-tropical birds, you too can flock to Fayetteville and celebrate our feathered friends’ migration this spring at the New River Birding and Nature Festival, April 27-May 3, 2009. Or come this fall to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bridge Day and watch BASE jumping from the New River Gorge Bridge, the world’s second-longest single arch bridge.
INTERESTS OR YOUR PASSION, WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL AND ENJOY A RELAXING AND FUN-FILLED VACATION, WEST VIRGINIA’S LITTLEST TREASURES SHOULD BE ON THE TOP OF YOUR LIST.
In Lewisburg, explore the majestic caves and caverns that contain more than 200 unchartered passages and spend your afternoons lazily browsing the downtown, named one of12 “Distinctive Destinations” in the country by the National Trust for Historical Preservation.
When you visit Shepherdstown, just an hour and a half away from the greater Washington D.C. area, you can canoe, kayak, go shopping or take an historical and fun Civil War tour.
