Good bye Virginia, hello West Virginia!
We’re off to check out New River Gorge National Park.
Established in 2020, it’s the newest of the parks.
People rave about the rafting in New River
But given it’s October,
We’ll have to settle for some hiking.
Our first stop was the Grandview Visitor Station
and a short 1.2 hike on Castle Rock trail
It was a really cool hike along the cliffs
That made for some cool pictures
We wound up back on the Grandview Rim
Which was pretty too
See why they call it “Grandview”???
That was too easy.
We needed one more before we headed to our campsite.
How about the Tunnel Trail?
A good name for this one
With some “grand” views…
We quickly set up camp
And decided to try out one more hike—
Because on the trail is the best place for Happy Hour.
We set out on The Endless Wall Trail,
Which didn’t have many walls but did have these cool
GIANT rhododendron bushes
We made it to Diamond Point as the sun was setting
Having a snack and a drink overlooking the New River?
One of our best Happy Hour spots this trip!
The hike back gave us some amazing views of
the famed New River Gorge Bridge
Not a bad day,
But we’ll have to come back in the summer
To give this park its due
