It's coming up soon and you can make plans now for a road trip or even to stay all night in one of the West Virginia State Parks lodging accommodations to see the beauty up close.

 

This is from the West Virginia State Parks Web site for those who love fall foilage:

 

"There’s just something special about fall. The forested hills turning brilliant hues of red, orange and gold. The cool, crisp temperature that’s just right for a hike. The sound of leaves crunching under your feet as you stroll through the woods. No doubt, autumn is beautiful, but its beauty is fleeting—occurring over a span of just a few weeks. Don’t miss that window of opportunity to view the Mountain State in all its majestic autumn splendor. Make your plans today to visit West Virginia State Parks this fall."
