Description: |
Edit |
A short, fairly easy trail taking you to a series of overlooks from which you can see the New River Gorge National River.
A great place for rapelling, climbing, hiking, watching the rafters down below, and general photography.
Best seasons: Late Spring thru Summer -- green, wild flowers, rafters; Fall also for leaves & colors.
Warning (just in case):
Watch children and pets...the overlooks are all rocky areas with sheer cliffs and dropoffs. Watch cracks and rock piles for poisonous snakes.
