In 2019, it'd be great to get a group of us to do some track days and a few road trips in MD, VA, PA and WV.

I was raised in OH and may take a scenic drive through WV on my way to get to OH this spring...

1. Highland Scenic Highway
43 miles through the dense hardwood forest of the Monongahela National Forest, the Highland Scenic Highway rises from an elevation of 2,300 feet to more than 4,500 feet. With 4 scenic overlooks, you’ll find plenty of spectacular places to stop and enjoy the expansive view of the Allegheny Mountains.

2. Rt 60 Midland Trail and the New River Gorge
The 180-mile Midland Trail traverses the state on historic 2-lane Route 60. The Trail is full of great places to stop and enjoy the scenery, pioneer history, outdoor adventure, local arts and crafts as well as great West Virginia food. Plus, it’s lined with flowing waterfalls.

3. Rt 32 through Canaan Valley
Route 32 is a 20-mile drive from Harman to Thomas. You’ll be mountain driving on twisty roads with elevation gains right through the beautiful Canaan Valley State Park, Blackwater Falls State Park and the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge. You’ll be surrounded by park and forest lands with abundant wildlife, waterfalls and the hospitable and hip small towns of Thomas and Davis.

4. Coal Heritage Trail
The National Coal Heritage Trail meanders through coal mining history. There are coal heritage sites all over the state, including reconstructed mines, railway lines and stations as well as towns and even an underground mine tour. And all of these interesting stops are connected by roads that criss-cross the state through spectacular scenery.
