NEW RIVER GORGE TIK TOK

Click. Like. Follow

In April, we took a road trip to West Virginia.  It's about an eight hour drive (or 12 if you stop along the way to see more like we did.)  The trip was incredible, and more posts will come, but the focus for going was The New Rive Gorge Bridge Walk.

It's a MUST do.

Feet over the edge at 857 ft!

The Bridge Walk is located just outside the New River Gorge National Park.  The site was easy to use and we booked our trip in advance for 1:00 PM.  The staff was organized and friendly, keeping us updated on when our group would head out.  

TJ was our guide and he did an amazing job!  His quick-witted humor and extensive background knowledge of the area and it's people kept us engaged the entire trip across.  He made sure we caught the small details of the bridge, as well as the white water rafters below.  His ability to weave in the history of the local area with the historical impact the bridge has had on the area brought West Virginia and the Fayatte area to life.  

A tip for the Bridge Walk!
​
The day we went the weather fluctuated a lot.  By time we entered the catwalk it was sunny, but definitely cooler under the bridge.  The staff leaves a sign up behind the counter to let you know how cold it's going to be.

GET A GOOD JACKET.  This one.  Specifically.

You'll see these jackets in more posts.  We tested them out for our upcoming trip to Scotland.  I'm always cold, and on a day the bridge said it was about 40 degrees F, I was incredibly comfortable.  I did dress in layers, just because I am cold.

It is lightweight, has great pockets, is waterproof, and extremely durable.  I'm tough on clothes, and after using it all weekend it still looks great.  We highly recommend them.  Click the button above to find them in our recommendations. (We are Amazon Affiliates and we do earn small compensation from qualifying purchases.)
