West Virginia Winter Adventures: Cold Weather, Warm Fires, Great Hiking

Sunday, January 10, 2010 by Country Road Cabins Staff
Cold weather offers great excuses to wear big sweaters, woolly socks and Mouse Works fleece hats by West Virginia native Ryan Williamson.  It's also perfect "wandering in the woods" weather.  No snow on the ground?  Go crunching over frozen trails and listen to the fosty leaves underfoot.   Trails abound in around our cabins for New River lodging and Hawk's Nest lodging, offering many options for winter walking.

There is nothing like the stillness of a winter-wrapped forest.  When a critter moves in the distance, it can be heard for miles.  Everything is crisp and clear, and details stand out more in the silence.  Winter views in the New River Gorge area are also fantastic.  Vistas hidden by summer leaves open up, and creeks only heard before become visible, often bordered by icicles and frosty rocks. 

Return from a chilly outing to light a crackling fire and sip hot chocolate - or climb into the hottub. What better way to finish up the day?
