Scenic Drives & Open Road Escapes

There’s no better way to get to know the Greenbrier Valley’s unique history, outdoor wonders and friendly downtowns than through a scenic drive on its backcountry roads. Find your Zen in a cave lined with Himalayan salt. Discover “lions” in downtown Alderson. Descend 120 feet to access a subterranean chamber, and dine in downtown Lewisburg, winner of USAToday’s 10Best Small Town Food Scene. It’s all here!

To maximize your day, we’ve crafted three cruise-worthy drives.

It's time to hit pause to let the day unfold on a backcountry escape through the Greenbrier Valley. Lean back and watch the tranquil countryside drift by. Take in the scenic landscape dotted with dense forests, rolling hay fields and grazing cattle. Drink in the magic elixir of a day spent in good company, communing with nature, uncovering hidden treasures and feasting on culinary delights.

Hill Country Driving Tour

One of three cruise-worthy drives around the valley, this forty-two-mile loop heads north on Route 219 from downtown Lewisburg. It loosely tracks the Greenbrier River before heading east along Anthony Creek and back to the south through White Sulphur Springs.
