If you're a fan of beautiful nature, Civil War history, or Southern hospitality, West Virginia is an unparalleled place to take a few day trips. The Snowshoe ski resort offers excellent skiing in the winter, but there are plenty of excellent summer destinations as well, including the majestic New River Gorge National River, Coopers Rock State Forest, and the Gauley River National Recreation Area. However, it's not all about the nature; the state is also home to unique sites like the the Grave Creek Mound, and the Greenbrier resort, which houses a decommissioned bunker from the Cold War.
