Overview
Adventure lovers take note: there is SO much to do in West Virginia when it comes to the thrill. With an average elevation of about 460 metres above sea level, it is the highest of any U.S. state east of the Mississippi River. Justifiably named the ‘Mountain State’, West Virginia is also home to the highest density of white-water runs in the country. Bordered by Pennsylvania to the north, Maryland and Virginia to the east, Kentucky to the southwest, and Ohio to the northwest, West Virginia has a magnitude of outdoor adventure for visitors to enjoy.
While the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve has been a favourite outdoor spot and photography favourite for visitors over centuries, it has recently been named the USA’s newest National Park. Offering an abundance of natural beauty, breathtaking views, outdoor activities, and uncrowded mountain towns, the park is home to more than 70,000 acres of land. With the park sitting along the New River, which is ironically the second oldest river on the continent, you will also witness the iconic steel arch bridge which offers a stunning gateway to this slice of heaven.

Harpers Ferry is located at the point where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet, with enchanting, forest-coated mountains all around it. Due to its strategic location, the small town was fiercely fought over during the American Civil War. As such, there are a number of interesting historical sights for you to check out, with plenty of old buildings and important landmarks on show. While many visitors come to learn more about the role Harpers Ferry played in the Civil War and to see its many sights, just as many come to enjoy the magnificent wilderness in the area. Whether it’s zip lining, white-water rafting, or inner tubing, there are loads of fun activities for you to try out. Hiking along the scenic Appalachian Trail is a must if you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature. While Harpers Ferry is undoubtedly quite a touristy place, there is a lovely laidback vibe to the town, with lots for you to see and do.
