Wild and Wonderful, Almost Heaven, The Mountain State and Country Roads are all used to describe West Virginia. With rolling mountains, hills and valleys, West Virginia is well known for its beautiful landscapes and forests. It is one of the most beautiful regions in the United States, and has countless motorcycle routes for riders to experience the beauty of the state.

The rally location is Charleston, West Virginia, which is located on the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers, and is West Virginia’s capital city. The countless scenic roads provide attendees the opportunity to explore Appalachian history, discover mining, chase waterfalls, enjoy scenic views, and learn about the feud between the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. Since the state falls entirely in the Appalachian Mountain range, there are spectacular views and fun twists and turns. Routes wind through scenic country roads, along picturesque valleys, and along waterways.

There are eight West Virginia Harley-Davidson dealerships to visit during the day. During the evenings, rally participants can enjoy restaurants and shops along the Charleston River Walk.
