From the Shenandoah Valley to the Blue Ridge Mountains, here is a region of outdoor fun, America’s early history, wineries and more!

No trip to Virginia is complete without spending some time in the Williamsburg area known as the Historic Triangle. America’s first permanent English colony is preserved at Jamestowne, a living history museum providing a glimpse of life in 1607. In Colonial Williamsburg experience the sights and sounds of the 18th Century, with the townsfolk in character as the butcher, baker and candlestick maker of the day! At Yorktown, you’ll discover the lives of people who witnessed the Revolution there and walk the ground where America’s independence battle was won in 1781.

Virginia stretches from pristine sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean to the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains and stunning Shenandoah Valley. Scenic drives include the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, just 75 miles west of Washington, D.C. Hike part of the Appalachian Trail; drive the Blue Ridge Parkway; see natural attractions like Luray Caverns.

West Virginia is an outdoor lover’s paradise with its lush mountains, white–water rivers and endless forests — it’s ‘Wild and Wonderful’! Relax in a hot mineral spring at a top–notch spa or play a round of golf. The people are welcoming and there’s a lively food and craft beer scene to enjoy. Delve into the history of the American Civil War at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. In the New River Gorge National Park, enjoy a whitewater adventure of a lifetime.
