A cold beer tastes better after hiking.

Hiked around 10 miles (which is a lot for me) today. Saw some great views and cool waterfalls.

View of the New River from above in February. The mountainsides of the gorge are brown and leafless but light accents of snow and ice on the branches create some texture and a medium for catching some of the pink light of the setting sun. The sky and water are blue-grey but a thin strawberry lemonade strip of light hovers above the horizon line and provides a glowing backdrop for some low grey streaks of cloud.

New River Gorge National Park and Preserve – Nature is our Medicine 21/22 December 2025 On my last swing through the area, I pondered visiting New River Gorge, but it was very windy. Strangely, the weather was much better in December. I drove across the largest arc…

A view of the New River Gorge bridge from a motorcycle riding on Fayette Station Road in the fall leaves. The road curves to the left, while the bridge crosses the gorge ahead.

Me sitting in front of the New River Gorge National Park Service visitor center sign. I'm talking about getting ready to ride Fayette Station Road on my motorcycle.

Fayette Station Road.
A short, unforgettable ride in the New River Gorge.

Steep, winding, and best enjoyed at a relaxed pace—one of those roads that leaves an impression long after the ride is over.

🧵 Another section of the New River Gorge National Park is called Grandview. I have to admit I have driven by this section 4-5 times on I64 and never had stopped. Take the time to stop if you are traveling in I64 between Beckley WV and Staunton Virginia. #NewRiverGorge

🧵 Waterfalls? Did someone say waterfalls? New River Gorge NP has so many throughout the entire park!! This is a thread about the falls along the long winding drives from the Canyon Rim as the Visitor Center to Thurmond to Grandview to Sandstone Falls. Also, I love me some waterfalls! #NewRiverGorge

Overlook view of the New River Gorge at Grandview, a crescent shaped arc of mirror-like river occupying the bottom right corner of the portrait oriented image while the bottom left is full of foreground foliage, bright red leaves and seeds of a seasonal plant standing out sharply against the emerald green spruce needles of the tree behind it. In the distance surrounding the river are the sunlit-and-shadowed mountainsides of the gorge, bejeweled in autumn colors but somewhat darkened under a sky full of fluffy white cumulus clouds.

Five Years After It Became a National Park,  There's a Growing Divide In West Virginia's New River Gorge Many long-time West Virginians see the divide between their reality of the area — a community that still faces long-standing infrastructure and quality-of-life issues — and the version accessible to t...

The New River Gorge is drawing more visitors than ever, yet many longtime West Virginians see little change in daily life. “I don’t think the National Park Service has done much in my area,” said Jackie Coleman of Whipple.

A portion of New River Gorge viewed from above, near sunset, in autumn. Fluffy cirrocumulus clouds are gently lit from below at an oblique angle as the sun begins to dip below the distant forested ridges at the horizon line. In the foreground are leafy blazes of red orange and gold, the leaves of treetops growing below the overlook. Beyond and above this curtain of colorful leaves, the New River gleams, reflecting the blue and white of the sky. It curves away into the twisting gorge, the dark line of a railroad track to its left, cutting through the variegated trees on the mountainside. Most of the forest is still some shade of green although color variations like the ones more easily visible in the foreground are beginning to show in the distance as well.
