| Hard to imagine a more scenic overlook. |
 |
| Before the New River Gorge Bridge was built in 1977, you had to take a 40 minute drive down a mountain road into the gorge to cross the New River. |
 |
| This picture is deceiving. The 1.5 mile (3 mile round trip) trail out to the overlook isn't that steep or challenging. |
 |
| The last portion of trail before you go out onto the outcropping is bordered by rhododendron. |
 |
| The New River Gorge Bridge is 876 feet above the river. |
 |
| The kids found tadpoles in the small pools of water on this rock outcropping. |
