Trail below the New River Gorge Bridge offering dramatic views of the steel arch framed by sandstone buttresses, river rapids and treed cliffs. Best at golden hour and fall color; steep, rocky trail sections require sturdy shoes. Park at the Canyon Rim pullouts or National Park lot; weekdays and dawn are least crowded. Drones are generally prohibited in NPS units; respect safety rails and seasonal closures.
