See the best of the New River Gorge National Park when you join one of our hikes. Hikes go at a leisurely pace and are led by Community Captains and an NPS Ranger. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. You are welcome to bring walking sticks/hiking poles for assistance and are encouraged to bring your own water and sunscreen. The length of each hike may vary. Please contact us, or find our Facebook event page for each hike for more details.
