The Appalachian Mountains stretch nearly 2,000 miles from north to south along the eastern edge of North America. They are an old mountain range, with roots that run deep even though their once towering peaks have been gentled by the erosive tool of time as compared to their younger counterparts, the Rocky Mountains, in western North America. While this long, old mountain chain spans many states, only West Virginia lies completely within the Appalachian Region. That means the Mountain State is the perfect place to experience the Appalachian Mountains to their fullest. And for peak Appalachian vibes, try a visit to the tiny town of Pineville in southern West Virginia. Let’s take a look at some things to do in Pineville, West Virginia.
