  2. TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS • West Virginia is known for it’s mountains, but we have so much more to keep you coming back. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  3. While You’re Visiting West Virginia You might want to plan a getaway!

  4. West Virginia West Virginia Division of Tourism • Because of our mountains, we have rivers. The oldest river in the Western Hemisphere, the New River (quite appropriately named, don't you think) ends in West Virginia.

  5. West Virginia • We have the Gauley River, which confluences with the New River in a magnificent cascade to form the Kanawha River and which in turn flows through the center of the State and directly through the capital city of Charleston, the largest city in West Virginia.

  6. West Virginia • These rivers in addition to the Cheat, Blackwater, Tygart, Monongahela, Ohio and countless others offer tremendous recreational opportunities. Blackwater Falls West Virginia Division of Tourism

  7. West Virginia • The tallest building in Charleston is barely 25 floors tall! Tucker County Sunset West Virginia Division of Tourism

  8. West Virginia • This, if you think about it, is a plus. How could you possibly build a skyscraper more beautiful than a mountain? Tucker County Sunset

  9. Charleston, West Virginia • The capital city stretches throughout the long river valley encompassing both hill and dale. • The Charleston airport, the largest in the State, sits on top of a mountain.

  10. West Virginia • The entire state has six different interstate systems, meaning from Charleston you can reach Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Louisville, or Charlotte in four hours or less. Ah, but once you leave the interstates, the drive becomes a thing of wonder.

  11. West Virginia • Two lane roads, winding up and down the mountains, offer amazing views and historic places and small towns....poor in wealth but rich in history.

  12. West Virginia • West Virginia is the birthplace of Mother's Day in Grafton, and Father' Day in Fairmont.

  13. Charleston, West Virginia • Charleston has no subway systems; but truth be known, you can get from one end of town to the other, even in rush-hour traffic, in less than ten minutes. • There are three major interstate systems going through Charleston, the smallest city in America to make such a claim.

  14. Covered Bridges • We have the oldest covered bridge still in use. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  15. Wild & Wonderful • We have walnut festivals, strawberry festivals, apple festival, pumpkin festivals, buckwheat festivals, arts and crafts fairs, stern wheel regattas, and ramp dinners. http://www.wvblackwalnutfestival.org/ http://www.berkeleysprings.com/apple/ http://www.kirkwood-wine.com/festivals.html

  16. New River Gorge Bridge • We have Bridge Day, on the New River Gorge Bridge over 800 feet above the New River; the only standing structure in the United States that, one day a year, allows parachuting and bungee jumping. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  17. WV Fall Attractions • Don't forget, we also have the "New River Train" that operates each October during the height of the colorful fall season. I know of no other way to show off the beauty of our state to the folks who travel here from all over the country.

  18. West Virginia • We have college basketball, minor league baseball and hockey and, just like all of America, Friday night high school football. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  19. Reasons to Visit West Virginia • We have white water rafting, skiing, hiking, caves, waterfalls, and camping in every direction. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  20. Reasons to Visit West Virginia • We have Sundays where a leisurely drive in the car can take eight hours, and only cover 100 miles.

  21. The Greenbrier • We have bed and breakfasts, resorts, golf courses, museums, and the Greenbrier Hotel. • West Virginia has more natural beauty and wonder than any person could ever imagine. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  22. West Virginia • We have all of this, and yet.... our greatest asset is our people. • West Virginians are good people. We care about each other. We talk to our neighbors over the backyard fence. We grow tomatoes for the entire neighborhood. We turn around in each other's driveways, and yell "howdy" when we do.

  23. Wild & Wonderful • We sit on the porch on warm summer evenings, listening to crickets, and watching kids catch fireflies. • We loan a hammer, or a cup of sugar. We don't take two-hour lunches, but we do spend a few minutes each day with a cup of coffee, and our feet up on our desk, shooting the breeze. West Virginia Division of Tourism

  24. Wild & Wonderful • We rarely get in a hurry. We have relatives just down the street. We don't just loan someone a socket wrench, we help them fix their car.

  25. Wild & Wonderful • We share recipes, and gardening tips, and our last cup of coffee. • We baby-sit each other's kids, we housesit each other's dogs while we're on vacation, and we loan each other our cars if we have to get to the drugstore. We ask each other if we need anything as we're going to the market.

  26. Wild & Wonderful • We celebrate each others accomplishments, and we cry over each other's disappointments. • We are a friendly folk. We are West Virginians. Mountaineers are always free! Free to take the time to enjoy life, and hold each moment in our hearts forever.
