West Virginia Cabin Vacations

It is likely that folks on their way to a West Virginia cabin vacation rental will take the time to stop and absorb the breathtaking view of the New River Gorge.  Geologists believe the gorge was carved over somewhere between 3 million years and 320 million years by the New River.  This ancient river architect begins in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and winds its way 2000 miles though Virginia and West Virginia.  The sand and gravel it sweeps along with it over those millions of years acted as sandpaper to cut the stunning gorge that today makes this area of West Virginia a favorite recreation destination. 

Whether visitors take time on West Virginia family vacations to explore the New River Gorge on a hike, by raft or by train, the journey though millions of years of sedimentary layers and the remains of swamps and ancient sea beds is one that will not soon be forgotten.
