Virginia
Virginia’s landscape ranges from beaches on the Atlantic coast and Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah Valley, and the heart of Appalachia. Cumberland Gap National Historical Park in the southwest and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in the east are favorite places to explore. History fans enjoy Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, the U.S. Civil Rights Trail, and battlefield parks from the American Revolution and Civil War.
