West Virginia: Morgantown – Population: 31,073
No small town in WVA is more worthy of a visit than the home of West Virginia University. Game days in Mo-Town are no joke, and the bar scene here rivals any major-conference college town. Suds and sports aside, Morgantown sits near the Cheat River, one of the premiere whitewater destinations in America. And a hike to the top of Coopers Rock gives you a jaw-dropping, vertigo-inducing peek into the 1,200ft gorge below. — M.M.
