New River Gorge

“Almost heaven, West Virginia…” put New River Gorge National Park on your list. We had a wonderful experience from the natural beauty, the adventure, to the food!

The bridge and the river are focal points of the attraction to the area.

We had a tasty lunch at the Cathedral Cafe. An old church transformed into a coffee house/restaurant.

🦃 Turkey, bacon 🥓, avocado 🥑 panini was on point.

Then, rafting on the river. We had a great guide on the Upper New River for a four hour trip that included class 3 rapids. Heidi was a boss!

Cool waterfall just off the river.

We had a fine dinner at Pies and Pints, a craft beer 🍺 and pizza 🍕 place. The next morning it was breakfast at Biscuit World. The best biscuit in West Virginia.

Huge piping hot biscuit with crunchy edges.
Bridge Walk.

After Biscuit World we walked all the way across the catwalk beneath the bridge. 800 some feet above the river.

Rafts lining up to shoot the rapids beneath us.

💥 Boom 💥!!!
