MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VA

Dear Travel Friend,

​Montgomery County, Virginia which is part of the new river valley is perfectly situated in Southwest Virginia. And it’s home to breathtaking scenic vistas, cool towns, a very famous University, authentic farm-to-table restaurants, the arts, live music and enough space to sprawl out in the great outdoors! Bring the family and include the university town of Blacksburg, the charming community of Christiansburg and as many points as you can around Montgomery County on your next unforgettable vacation! My most recent trip was in October of 2017 to shoot an episode of "Beyond Your Backyard" for Public Broadcasting. 

Sincerely, 
​Erik

FAST FACTS
State: Virginia​​
Time Zone: Eastern
Currency: US Dollar

TRANSPORTATION
​​Montgomery County, Virginia is located along interstate 81 about 45 minutes from the town of Roanoke in the Southwestern part of the state.  

Car: I suggest you either arrive by car or rent one while you are here. 

Train: Amtrak does not have a station in Montgomery County. However, you can train to Roanoke and then rent a car. 
 
THE WEATHER
​​I highly recommend a summer or fall visit to Montgomery County. During fall, the foliage is gorgeous and the students are bust at work and play. A winter visit may provide the best value. Winter in Montgomery County is perfect for sipping cups of cocoa or sitting by a roaring fireplace at one of the bed & breakfasts in the area.

Peak Season(s): Summer & Fall
Value Season: Winter
Shoulder Season: Spring
