#1 – From EAST END TASTE – Suppose you’re a gamer traveling to West Virginia. There are some incredible destinations to experience in Almost Heaven, but wouldn’it be great if you could experience all different destinations that still link to your gaming experience somehow?
Check out some of these top spots that gamers will love:
If you’re a tabletop gamer and you like to literally take a hike, then you should check out the Appalachian Trail, which waves through Monroe County and Jefferson County at Harpers Ferry. Many people don’t even know that the Appalachian Trail card game exists, but it’s the ultimate way to punctuate your hiking trip with a little extra fun.
If you liked playing Steep or ever wished you had a full-body suit and VR headgear to play Wii skiing in a more realistic way, then you should check out Snowshoe Mountain when you’re in West Virginia. When winter passes, the area provides an all-terrain adventure aspect that offers kayaking and canoeing, Segway tours, golfing and more exciting ways to spend your time.

#3 – From THE TRAVEL – Set the stage for an exciting escapade with a trip to the rolling hills of West Virginia's capital city. Popularly referred to as Charlie West, Charleston is a scenic riverfront city surrounded by miles and miles of wilderness and gorgeous landscapes. With a population of just under 50,000, it maintains a small-town feel that not many state capitals can claim to have.
In this town you can take in a minor league baseball game, tour the State Museum (Admission is free!) , shop for locally made and grown products at Capitol Market, or even head out to Kanawha State Forest to hike or bike.
