Potomac Highlands
The Allegheny Mountain range raises its lofty spine, with peaks rising to 4,000 feet, right down the center of West Virginia’s Potomac Highlands. Much of this eight-county region is devoted to vast tracts of national and state forest and wilderness areas where wildlife, wetlands and rushing streams abound. Huge rock formations thrust themselves out of the earth, and miles of caves tunnel underneath. All of that makes the Potomac Highlands an unrivaled destination for outdoor adventures.
