We absolutely loved the New River Gorge National Park! We missed “Bridge Day” by a single day, but it was a wonderful park nonetheless. The first of many amazing views can be found directly out the back door of the visitors center and has some information on the gorge there.
A short walk from the front of the visitors center you can see the longest arch bridge in the western hemisphere! You can also walk down the stairs to see the bridge from below, and though it’s a lot of stairs, I highly recommend!
If you’re able, a nice hike on the Endless Wall trail is a treat with wonderful views of the gorge and river below. Watch your step and please look out below for rock climbers! Don’t throw things off the wall.
The Sandstone Falls are at the other end of the park and are the largest falls on the New River, they are wonderful to explore just keep in mind the rocks near the falls are very slippery.
Have fun! What a beautiful park.
