Day 2:  Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before we start our day.  Today we will enjoy the Mountain State Forest Festival, one of West Virginia's oldest and largest festivals, nestled in Elkins, West Virginia.  The festival continues to promote the vibrant natural beauty and splendor of West Virginia’s mountains and valleys in their autumn glory while showcasing the Appalachian heritage. It seamlessly bridges the majesty of the wilderness with the skills of the people who call it home. You will enjoy lumberjack competitions, arts and craft vendors, parades, forestry & wood exhibits, music concerts, amusement rides, and other carnival attractions. After a day at the festival we will return to the hotel for the evening. (B)

Day 3:  After breakfast at the hotel we begin our journey home. Get your cameras ready though, because we're stopping at the Summersville Lake Lighthouse for some epic photos. Your Tour Director will tell you the fascinating story behind this landlocked structure in West Virginia. Then onward to the New River Gorge Bridge. This massive steel arch bridge spans 3,030 feet and stands 876 feet above the ancient New River. Check out the boardwalk to scenic overlooks for fantastic views!  We continue our journey home with unforgettable memories of a great weekend of festivities.  Returning approximately 6:00 PM. (B)
