During summer vacations everyone plans to go on an international tour. People love to go to Greece, Spain, London, etc. but here how about planning a trip to adventurous West Virginia.
Here is the list of adventures places in and around West Virginia's parks, rivers, off-road trails, and mountaintops. These places are accompanied by the lush landscape of the oldest mountain range in the world.

1. ATVing: Fun on Four Wheels
If you've never ridden an all-terrain vehicle, the nearly 1,000-kilometer Hatfield-McCoy Trail System is the perfect place to start. Organisations offer guided tours, so even beginners can try this muddy, messy and bumpy thrill of a lifetime.

2. Climbing: Adventure on the Rocks
The New River Gorge is the most famous climbing site in West Virginia, but climbers should also check out Seneca Rocks in the Monongahela National Forest, a craggy fin of rock that is only accessible by trad (traditional) climbing.

3. The Bridge Walk: New River Gorge
At 924 meters long and 267 meters high, the New River Gorge Bridge is one of the world's most impressive single-span arch bridges. If you're ready to conquer your fear of heights (with stunning views as your reward), take the Bridge Walk tour on the catwalk directly under the bridge happily tied to a safety cable as you walk hundreds of meters above the river.

4. Whitewater Rafting: Among the Best in the USA
When it comes to whitewater rafting, West Virginia has something for everyone. Guides in the upper New River Canyon offer a gentle introduction. 

5. Paddling: Scenic Trails on the Water
The Upper Cheat River Water Trail is a calm ride through the Allegheny Mountains, with historic sites and attractions along the way. At tranquil Summersville Lake, you can rent pontoon boats, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for low-impact fun.
