West Virginia just added nine cascades to the Waterfall Trail and there’s one with a 30-foot drop.

The trail traverses the entire state and passes through national parks and forests.

The result is an adventure thattakes visitors off the beaten path.

I cant wait to hear more stories and meet more folks out on the trail this summer.

Its an absolutely perfect summer activity for those looking to travel the state.

The nine new stops on the West Virginia Waterfall Trail were nominated by West Virginians.

The passport lets waterfall explorers track their progress by checking in at each cascade they visit.
