Almost Heaven West Virginia

Travel through the rugged West Virginia mountains to the picturesque town of Cass which has remained unchanged since its founding in 1901. Here, board the Cass Scenic Railroad for a ride to Bald Knob, the third highest point in the state. Feel the rumble and hear the hiss of the restored steam locomotive as you travel up the mountain, through two switchbacks to view the open fields and Whitaker Station. Enjoy your sack lunch as you climb the mountain. Then, check in to your hotel for the next two nights. Meals: B, L
