Horseback riding in Canaan Valley
courtesy of author

The leaves are starting to fall off the trees, flip flops have been packed away, Baltimoreans are decked out in purple, and the Halloween candy is almost tapped out. It’s sad to say goodbye to the warm days of summer and crisp fall air, but there is much to look forward to this winter. Why don’t you start by planning a winter weekend of adventure? Of course, I have the perfect spot!

Just about 4 hours from B-more, take a trip to the mountains of Canaan Valley, West Virginia. Located in Tucker County, you can find pure adrenaline, complete relaxation or even a little romance. Slap on some snowshoes, cozy up next to a fireplace, take in some live music or a take a plunge in your personal hot tub. This winter wonderland is an oasis for outdoor lovers and adventure seekers. Try cross country or downhill skiing, snowboarding, tubing, hiking, horseback riding, golf and mountain biking, all while enjoying views of the Allegheny Mountains. Canaan is home to Blackwater Canyon an 8-mile long gorge formed by the Blackwater River. Observe the stunning 62-foot Blackwater Falls, explore the Dolly Sods Wilderness area, or do absolutely nothing! Create your own vacation in Canaan.
