Experience West Virginia in fall colour

A landscape of colour is framing West Virginia, the Mountain State, with its magnificent show of autumn shades across 55 counties for its leaf-peeping visitors. For the first time, a series of autumn colour fly-drive packages to West Virginia have been launched by American specialist, America As You Like It.

Featuring 7-day itineraries, with direct flights to Washington DC and connecting flights into the heart of the state, this new destination is an attractive alternative to New England.

The Rivers & Valleys of West Virginia in Fall Colour package start from £1122 per person (based on double occupancy) to include return flights to Charleston, seven days economy car hire and seven nights accommodation.

The itinerary offers a taste of every style of West Virginia’s hospitality: one night at the quaint Brass Pineapple B&B in Charleston, two nights at the White Horse B&B which is set amid a landscaped estate that extends into the forests of the New River Gorge National River, one night at The Resort at Glade Springs, perfect for outdoor adventure activities, one night at the historic General Lewis Country Inn in Lewisburg and two nights at the State’s premier venue, the Greenbrier Resort.

West Virginia is the third most forested state in the nation - nearly 80 percent is tree-covered with 36 state parks and seven state forests forming more than 200,000 acres of natural wonder and scenic beauty to provide tourists with a brilliant show of fall colour across the Mountain State. West Virginia's varied topography and elevation, ranging from a few hundred feet above sea level to nearly a mile high, stretches the leaf-peeping season from late-September into the early days of November. Viewing fall foliage is one of the most popular activities and it ties in with many traditional festivals.
