Greenbrier Valley Airport
Located in Lewisburg, West Virginia along the southern border of the Monongahela National Forest, the Greenbrier Airports hosts Continental Airlines as its sole aircraft company. Considerably closer to ski resorts than Charleston, the Greenbrier Valley Airport makes for an easy drive to area resorts and national forests, and the area offers a calmer environment than busy Charleston. In addition to ski resorts, Greenbrier Valley Airport is close to popular caverns and caves, or you may wish to skip the tourist attractions of the caverns and explore the area forests and waterfalls on your own. With southeastern West Virginia barely inhabited and almost fully undeveloped, you never know what you will find. For travelers with cars, the Jefferson National Forest, located across the Virginia border, is about an hour's drive down interstate 77.
