West Virginia is beautiful anytime of the year, but especially in the Fall! You will love this Hub & Spoke Tour with a 3-night stay in cozy accommodations at an elegant lakeside lodge at Stonewall Resort State Park with wonderful breakfasts and dinners. From our lakeside hub, we will spoke out on new adventures throughout West Virginia each day! All aboard for a daytime rail excursion on The Greenbrier Express. This train departs from the restored, historically important town of Cass, WV and closely follows the clear, free-flowing Greenbrier River to the small mountain village of Durbin. The ride upriver passes through a secluded wilderness portion of the 950,000-acre Monongahela National Forest featuring beautiful scenes of forested mountains at each turn of the river. Sightings of Deer, River Otters, and Black Bear along with a wide variety of Eagles, Hawks, Ospreys, and other species of aquatic birds are common. The New River carves a deep gorge through southern West Virginia. The New River Gorge Bridge is the longest steel span in the western hemisphere, the third highest bridge in the United States, and it is one of the most photographed places in West Virginia…so we will go see it and take photos too! When we think of WV, we think of coal mines. We will visit a recreated coal camp at Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine. Experience what the early working days of mining were like on a tour into a vintage coal mine with a veteran miner as your Guide. Located on a small island in the Ohio River, Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park features a Palladian mansion on the island and a museum of regional history located in Parkersburg, WV.
