This video is about visiting West Virginia. West Virginia is home of the Allegheny Mountains. The Allegheny Mountains are a part of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The Alleghenies run for about 400 miles (640 km) from north-central Pennsylvania, through western Maryland and eastern West Virginia, to southwestern Virginia. They comprise the rugged western-central portion of the Appalachians. In this video we spend a lot of time in or near Monongahela National Forest. Established in 1920, Monongahela National Forest provides visitors with scenic vistas, country roads, flowing streams and abundant plant and animal life. It's one of the most ecologically diverse areas in the United States. It protects over 921,000 acres! It's huge! And it's one of the most remote places in our part of the world, and it's the most remote region east of the Mississippi.Elevations range from just under 1,000 feet to 4,863 feet above sea. One of the most amazing features in the region are the unique valleys. Much of the Monongahela (West Virginia), George Washington (West Virginia, Virginia) and Jefferson (Virginia) National Forests lie within the Allegheny. Mountains. This video is also about visiting West Virginia, and really thinking that people are really missing out by not exploring West Virginia. There is a problem, however, in this video. There are scenes that are not actually in West Virginia, but actually in Virginia. I'm going to talk about this in an upcoming video.
