Almost Heaven, West Virginia..
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.....

All who grew up here know this song well as do most others but did you know that John Denver was an extremely intelligent man? When he wrote this verse in the song what most do not know is it actually comes from a Fact of Science and Nature. The Appalachian Mountain are some of the oldest mountains on planet earth and the Blue Ridge Mountains are the oldest of the Appalachian Mountain Range. For those of you who have traveled the world like we have then you already know that there is truly no place more beautiful than right here in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and West Virginia. From the seasonal changes of Spring when everything comes to life to the incredible natural spectacle of nature that is Fall, There is simply nothing like it and it is something you will never forget.
This Fall get in your car or fire up your bike and come to one oldest mountain ranges on earth and witness the magic that is nature in full color.
