West Virginia has some of the best fall foliage in the country, and we’re lucky to have so many stunning places to view it around the state. You can see some of the best views of West Virginia in the fall this year on this epic journey from New River Train Excursions, based in Huntington.
Each October, New River Train Excursions hosts a series of journeys across West Virginia.
