I’ve traveled to quite a few national parks but New River Gorge was an amazing surprise. It’s the newest national park and doesn’t get a lot of attention but it is absolutely stunning. The hiking was amazing, as was the white water rafting. And the nearby town of Fayetteville was a pleasant surprise as well. Hidden gem.
Fayetteville was an absolute surprise for me. After driving through tons of depressing ghost towns Fayetteville was a fun respite for a while. I never expected to find hipsters deep in coal country.
Yes! We were mostly surprised by all the pride flags.
