Travel Responsibly
Looking for wide-open spaces? West Virginia has no shortage of rolling hills and sweeping landscapes as the third most forested state, and the only state completely within the Appalachian Mountain Range. There is room to roam while exploring some of the state’s most iconic landmarks, like Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Seneca Rocks or the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.
