"Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River..."
Lyrics and music by John Denver
The mountainous state of West Virginia has more than one million acres of land in 2 national forests, 9 state forests and 37 state parks. The steel-arch bridge that covers the New River Gorge was, for a long time, the longest bridge of that type in the world (it’s now the third longest.) Just a few of the other attractions in West Virginia include Harper’s Ferry, the Cass Scenic Railroad, National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the world-renowned Greenbrier Resort. Nature’s canvas at some of its’ best. In the words of John Denver, “take me home…country roads.” Sometimes a picture really is worth a 1,000 words.

I once travelled through West Virginia by Greyhound bus. I kept wanting the driver to stop so I could explore: such a beautiful state!
Nice memories you have of it, Cindy
Thanks for the comment, HG. It's too bad you didn't have a chance to explore WV further as it's a very beautiful state. Hopefully you'll get another chance one day!
