What’s the best season to visit the Greenbrier Valley for views and outdoor activities?
Greenbrier Valley is a year-round destination, but fall is the standout for both views and outdoor activities. The Allegheny Mountains peak in color mid-October through early November, and the crisp air makes hiking and mountain biking especially enjoyable. The State Fair of West Virginia, in late August, bridges summer into fall nicely, making it easy to combine both in one trip.
What makes the Greenbrier Valley different from other parts of West Virginia?
What sets the Greenbrier Valley apart from the rest of West Virginia is a rare combination of refined culture and rugged wilderness. The Greenbrier is an iconic, world-class resort with a history stretching back over two centuries. Yet step outside, and you're immediately in serious mountain terrain, with the Allegheny Highlands, the Greenbrier River Trail, and vast stretches of Monongahela National Forest offering world-class hiking, fishing and biking. Anchoring it all is Lewisburg and White Sulphur Springs, walkable small towns with independent shops and acclaimed restaurants.
