As fall rolls into West Virginia, vibrant colors grace the treetops. As the third most forested state in the United States, fall in West Virginia is nothing short of breathtaking.

And for those who like to take advantage of the state’s beauty – whether living in the state or visting from beyond its mountainous borders – the West Virginia Department of Tourism has something that will allow you to do just that. The first fall foliage map is out.

You can get regular foliage updates and information HERE.
