Introduction
For those who love the great outdoors, there are few states that can match this corner of Appalachia for scenic beauty and challenging terrain. Tourists flock to this beautiful region to enjoy historic sightseeing and an abundance of recreational sports, including skiing, mountain-biking, hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting at the New River Gorge National River, West Virginia ranks just behind Colorado in the quality of its white-water rapids. The Monongahela National Forest occupies a vast area in the eastern part of the State and includes the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. Home to bears and deer, Monongahela offers over 500 campsites and miles of hiking trails. West Virginia also boasts some of the nation’s best State parks, with naturalist programmes and recreational facilities. These include four resort State parks, complete with lodges, cabins, swimming pools, championship golf courses, restaurants and additional amenities.
At the historic town of Harper’s Ferry, the site of John Brown’s rebellion in 1859, numerous fine museums run exhibits on slavery and the Civil War. Other attractions include the State Capitol in Charleston, one of the finest Italian Renaissance buildings in the USA. West Virginia also has more than 200 festivals, fairs, special events, tournaments and races to celebrate and showcase the culture and heritage of this historic state.
