West Virginia has some of the best fall foliage in the country, and we’re lucky to have so many stunning places to view it around the state. You can see some of the best views of West Virginia in the fall this year on this epic journey from New River Train Excursions, based in Huntington.

Editor’s note: The New River Train Excursions are now sadly discontinued. We will miss the lovely beauty through the winding mountains. 

Each October, New River Train Excursions hosts a series of journeys across West Virginia.

The train travels from Huntington, through the New River Gorge, and down to the quiet little town of Hinton.

The railroad runs along the Kanawha and New Rivers for the perfect fall scenery. Meals are served on the train while guests enjoy the view.
For an extra special experience, you can book a ride on one of the Dome cars.
