West Virginia

West Virginia is renowned for its mountainous terrain, primarily part of the Appalachian Mountain system. The state's topography is characterized by steep ridges, deep valleys, and rugged plateaus. The Allegheny Plateau dominates much of the western and central regions, with its dissected hills and valleys, while the Allegheny Highlands feature some of the highest elevations in the state, including Spruce Knob, the highest point at 4,861 feet. The terrain varies dramatically, with the Appalachian Ridge and Valley region in the east showcasing sharp mountain ridges and deep valleys, while the western areas consist of rolling hills and plateaus. Rivers like the Potomac and Ohio wind through these rugged landscapes, offering fertile valleys amidst the otherwise challenging geography. The state's climate and environment are shaped by this varied topography, leading to distinct microclimates, rich biodiversity, and a strong reliance on outdoor recreation.
