We spent 7 days driving around the Mountain State on an amazing West Virginia road trip itinerary. We didn't really know what to expect when we booked our United States trip here, but we had a feeling it would be good. And wow were we impressed!
We started off by visiting the picturesque, European-style village of Shepherdstown before making our way to historic Harpers Ferry. This place played a big role during the US Civil War, and it was so interesting to check it out. The famous Appalachian Trail also passes right through here, so of course we had to go for a hike.
Next up was Seneca Rocks, known as one of the best short day hikes in the eastern United States. The views from the top were incredible, and the trail was exhilarating with the sharp drops on the ridge.
We made our way to Blackwater Falls State Park, and couldn't believe just how stunning the waterfalls were! A night at Blackwater Falls Lodge was the perfect rest before driving to our final destination.
Our road trip in West Virginia finished up at New River Gorge National Park, the newest national park in the United States, and after checking into our cabin at Adventures on the Gorge we went off in search of more hiking trails.
On our last day we went whitewater rafting on the New River with Adventures on the Gorge. The Class 4 and Class 5 rapids were absolutely crazy, but our excellent rafting guide Doug looked after us. What a way to finish off our West Virginia itinerary!
We honestly believe that this state could be one of the best kept secrets in the USA. Our West Virginia road trip was simply awesome and we were so surprised to find out that not too many other Australian tourists make it out this far. No doubt that will change with all the fantastic things to do in West Virginia finally getting out there.
