Fourth and last day of my 2023 Memorial Day trip to West Virginia. I checked out of the hotel in Beckley this morning and started my drive back home to Washington DC, stopping at Sandstone Falls of New River Gorge National Park and Roaring Run Furnace in Virginia along the way.
Third day of my 2023 Memorial Day trip to West Virginia as I continued my tour of New River Gorge National Park. With rain in the weather forecast, I focused mostly on short hikes and overlooks for the day, in addition to the nearby Babcock State Park.
Second day of my 2023 Memorial Day trip to West Virginia as I reached New River Gorge National Park. The weather forecast indicated rain for the next day, so I decided to check out most of the park’s popular hiking trails today, together with the nearby Hawks Nest State Park of West Virginia.
For 2023’s Memorial Day weekend, I made a trip to West Virginia, checking out the country’s newest National Park, New River Gorge. This post was about the Friday before the weekend, when I made the drive from Washington DC to Summersville, WV, while stopping at Davis, WV along the way to check out Blackwater Falls State Park.
