Welcome to The Mountain State - West Virginia! Rocky peaks receding toward a misty horizon; rivers churned to a froth, rushing through narrow canyons; waterfalls tumbling down steep hills into secluded valleys; vast forests ablaze with autumn color… these images only begin to describe West Virginia’s most beautiful regions. Scenery and history combine to make this a fantastic autumn tour. We will wind through this state enjoying some of the most breathtaking sights and most intriguing cities and stories. Our stop in Morgantown will show us the hometown of Don Knotts, fondly remembered as the bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show! The Mannette Steel Drum is another unique opportunity to see the only factory in the world that allows us to see the building, tuning, and history of the Caribbean Steel Drum. Blackwater Falls State Park welcomes us as their trees are aglow with fall colors, and the 65-foot falls of the Blackwater River cascades into the 8 mile gorge below. Our rail adventure begin with the New Tygart Flyer, a journey through mountains, tunnels, canyons, and rushing rivers. A float through the New River Gorge will take us under the New River Gorge Bridge and through beautiful scenery as we wind through the mountain passage. There is so much to do and see, this tour is perfect for the adventurous spirit looking to see one of autumns most spectacular destinations. Don’t miss the color!
