Montgomery County Virginia Tourism

Montgomery County is the vacation destination of nature enthusiasts, history buffs, photographers and bird and wildlife lovers in addition to families, singles and retirees. It has been providing visitors with the perfect spot to work, relax, or enjoy a myriad of recreational possibilities for over 200 years.

Montgomery County’s unique location adjacent to the wild, natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, provides guests with wide range of possibilities for outdoor adventures. Our two nationally recognized universities supply the area with an incredible variety of cultural and educational options and the historic richness of the region melds past with present for exciting exploration.

All the promising choices, year round scenic splendor and the mild climate with four distinct seasons makes it the perfect place for year-round recreation.

Known for our natural beauty and peaceful rural setting, man and wildlife coexist in what has been described as a little slice of heaven here on earth. At any turn in the road you might find a whitetail deer curiously staring at you, a groundhog contemplating your passage, a deep red cardinal serenading your passage, or even a black bear as startled by your presence as you are by its. Tourist-watching apparently is a favorite pastime of the wildlife in this relatively uncommercialized area.

Don’t try to cover Blacksburg / Christiansburg in a byway tour of just a day – there’s just too much to experience. And beware of an overload of the senses: the sound of songbirds, the sweet scent of honeysuckle, the feel of warm daytime sun and cool evening breezes and the sight of mountains that touch the sun, moon and stars co-mingled with historic sights, museums, amazing cuisine, cultural experiences and exhilarating recreation will leave you breathless. Go ahead - pamper yourself - visit us!
