The Blue Ridge Mountains In West Virginia Were Named One Of The 50 Most Beautiful Places In The World
U.S. News and World Report recently released a list of the 50 Most Beautiful Places In The World, and they acknowledged what everyone in West Virginia already knows–this state is one of them.
"Almost heaven, West Virginia," croons John Denver in what has become West Virginia's state song.
In a list released in January, U.S. News and World Report ranked the Blue Ridge Mountains as one of the top 50 most beautiful places in the world. In a similar list published in the same month, Vacation Idea Magazine listed the Blue Ridge in the top 25.
The Blue Ridge Mountains (and the Shenandoah River) only pass briefly through West Virginia's eastern panhandle, but they are home to one of the most well-known destinations in the state: Harpers Ferry.
