“Almost heaven, West Virginia”. John Denver’s lyrics perfectly capture the beautiful landscape of the “Mountain State”, the only state located completely within the Appalachian Mountain Range. As such, spectacular forests, waterfalls, meadows, rivers, streams and an abundance of wildlife can be found across the state and around every corner. Country roads take you to small towns rich in Appalachian culture, coal mining history, and country charm…where even the drive itself is a treasure. No matter where you choose to go or which direction you turn in this scenic state, you’re going to want to stay a while.

This design features a wildflower-filled meadow and a lush forest against a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
