Here in Virginia, we have so many day trip itineraries to choose from: waterfall road trips, barbecue trails, and just about everything in between. Today’s adventure is a short, sweet, and scenic Virginia day trip that takes us right into the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. It’s there we’ll find two points of interest: Falling Spring Falls and Humpback Covered Bridge. Come with me on this drive for one of the best day trips in Virginia.
