Unbound Autumn Adventures

Tucker County is your gateway to unbound autumn adventures.

Uncover panoramic vistas painted with vibrant fall hues. Hike through crisp, sprawling forests and take in stunning overlooks like Pendleton Point, where you can view Blackwater Canyon ablaze with autumnal color. For an unforgettable experience, challenge yourself with a sunrise hike to Bear Rocks Preserve in Dolly Sods and be rewarded with an unparalleled display of foliage stretching across the landscape.

Unlock the best leaf-peeping experience on a leisurely bike ride, winding through a fall canopy of crimson, amber and gold. Unlimited outdoor recreation awaits — from teeing off on impressive golf courses to taking in the views from above on a scenic chair lift ride.

Unwind during a mid-week getaway to Tucker County. Enjoy the tranquility of less crowded trails and wide-open spaces, where you can truly connect with the beauty of the surrounding wilderness.

Unplug and reconnect with your family during a weekend trip. Immerse yourselves in family-friendly outdoor activities and exciting local festivals.
