Check out the New River National River on the list; #5!

“The National Parks Service is ringing in its 100^th birthday this August! The park’s centennial is a major milestone, so we’ve started the celebrations early. On February 10, we hosted a Twitter #ExpediaChat with our 344,000 followers, focused entirely on the topic of national park travel. We asked and you answered on topics ranging from your favorite trails to your coolest park memories.

National parks such as Zion, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon popped up a lot in our discussion, and while these household names are certainly must-visit regions, it got us wondering about some of the lesser-known national parks.

For all those adventurers who like to follow trails less traveled, without fighting for elbow room and a good view, we’ve compiled a list of six parks you may not have heard of (and neither have the masses!)”

Most certainly, Fayetteville is known for its outdoor adventure. World-class whitewater rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing and more await the adrenaline junkies who visit, and we have a really big bridge that excites folks, too!

But, what sometimes gets overlooked is that Fayetteville is THE dining destination of the New River Gorge. Culinary options abound! Local independents, farmer’s market, national chains; we have it all. You’ll find low country Cajun, biscuits, gourmet pizza, deluxe coffee, serious sandwiches, sports bars, baked goods, ice cream, super soups and salads, farm fresh fare, bar-b-que, wings, waffles, craft beer and more

Three of our independent restaurants are on the list of 101 Unique Places to Dine in West Virginia. (http://gotowv.com/101-guide-listings/  ) You read that right. THREE! That’s pretty darn astounding considering we are a town of just 2900 people. You can tour the town for a different place to eat every meal when you visit. Add in the other great dining options within a mile or so from town, you will just want to come and eat … and eat … and eat!
