The New River Valley in Southwest Virginia is a scenic vacation spot and the home to Virginia Tech, a large public university in Blacksburg, Virginia. It’s located in Montgomery County which touches three river drainages – New River, James River, and Roanoke River – so there’s an abundance of outdoor activities available. You’ll also find a classic cinema, a charming bookstore, an innovative arts center, and lots more. Here are the things you shouldn’t miss when you visit the valley.
