With some of the east coast’s most beautiful and rugged scenery, West Virginia is filled with year-round outdoor adventure opportunities. Its wild mountain country, densely-forested wilderness areas, and fast-running rivers are playgrounds for hiking, camping, caving, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, boating, and fishing. In the winter, ski resorts offer a range of snow sports. While many tourists come to the state for these outdoor activities and scenic landscapes, West Virginia offers much more, from the historic sights of Harper’s Ferry and the impressive State Capitol building in Charleston to some very unusual attractions, including a penitentiary to tour.  For the list click here
