Born in the Appalachian Mountains, the New River flows north through several states before joining the Ohio River system, then the Mississippi River and finally the Gulf of Mexico. In West Virginia, it tumbles through the wide valley of New River Gorge – an area rich in natural and cultural history. 70,000 acres of this forested valley are protected as New River Gorge National River, where people and wildlife can enjoy the endless natural splendor.

Weather’s getting warm and I can’t wait to return to the Virginia Creeper Trail! It’s a 34 mile railroad-turned-bike trail through Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and gorgeous Virginia farmland. We typically bike from Damascus up to Whitetop
Station (or as close as we can get, it’s a hard climb!) then coast back down the hill enjoying the scenery.
