we took a road trip...

here's some pictures I took on our impromptu road trip to #newrivergorge. my dad said seeing the bridge was on his bucket list and since we only live a few hours away we had to make it happen for him. also, making the short trip to Thurmond is cool if you like creepy abandoned places

New River Gorge National Park & Preserve

2025/4/5 Edited to

The New River Gorge is a stunning destination renowned for its breathtaking scenery and outdoor activities. This area offers fantastic opportunities for hiking, white-water rafting, and rock climbing, making it a perfect escape for adventure lovers. The iconic New River Gorge Bridge, an impressive feat of engineering, attracts many visitors who want to witness its grandeur from various vantage points. If you're interested in history, explore the nearby town of Thurmond, known for its ghost town atmosphere. Once a bustling rail town, Thurmond now stands with remnants of its past, offering an intriguing glimpse into West Virginia's rich history. Capturing the eerie beauty of this abandoned place makes for unique photography. Travelers should also make sure to check local resources for the best viewpoints and trails, ensuring a memorable experience at this beautiful location.
