• Wolf Creek Falls - Just half a mile ahead is the Kaymoor Trail, a challenging 16-mile path that runs alongside the gorge. However, it’s not just for seasoned hikers! Only 500 feet down the trail, you’ll find Wolf Creek Falls, cascading beautifully over a series of rapids.

Note: The tour spans over 62 miles, featuring more than 69 audio stories, and takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

• Fayetteville - If the name rings a bell, it should. Fayetteville is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, the young Frenchman who became a crucial advisor and general to George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

• Canyon Rim Visitor Center - Welcome to New River Gorge National Park! From the towering heights of its iconic bridge to the deep, dark coal mines, this brand-new National Park is truly unique in America.

• Tunney Hunsaker Bridge - Named after Tunney Hunsaker, a police chief from Fayetteville, Hunsaker is best known for being Muhammad Ali’s first professional opponent. Although Hunsaker lost the fight, he certainly didn’t make it easy for Ali.

• Concho Rim Overlook - From this vantage point, you can gaze out over a dramatic horseshoe-shaped bend in the New River. The detour takes us slightly off the main path, but it offers one of the most iconic views in New River Gorge.

• Oak Hill - In 1952, on the last night of the year, a snowstorm swept across the South. Williams found himself stranded in Montgomery, Alabama, where he hired a college student named Charlie Carr to drive him all the way to Ohio.

• Dunloup Creek Falls - Approaching Dunloup Creek Falls, where Dunloup Creek meets the New River, it cascades 20 feet down a stunning sandstone shelf.

• Mount Hope - Like most towns in this region of West Virginia, Mount Hope’s story begins with the discovery of coal. In the late 1800s, miners discovered coal at nearby Turkey Knob, and soon the streets of Mount Hope were bustling with industrious miners and their families.

• Thomas Burford Pugh Memorial Bridge - We are about to cross the Thomas Burford Pugh Bridge, which spans the New River at the small town of Prince. Although we can drive over the bridge for free today, this wasn’t always the case. In the 1930s, each driver had to pay a hefty fee of 25 cents, which was a significant amount during the Great Depression!

• Quinnimont - At one time, nearly 500 people resided in Quinnimont, with almost everyone having some connection to the nearby mines.

• Layland Miners Memorial - Ahead are the remnants of Layland, a former coal town. Look to our left shortly for a collection of abandoned coal company houses. These dilapidated buildings were owned by the local mining company, which rented them to their impoverished workers.

• Meadow Bridge - We are now passing through the small town of Meadow Bridge. While we’ve seen many coal towns today, this is our first true timber town. The nearby Meadow River Lumber Company once cut and sold millions of feet of lumber.

• Sandstone Falls - Sandstone Falls are the largest series of falls on the entire New River! These falls formed over millennia as the force of the New River eroded the soft rock beneath the layers of sandstone.
