Introductie
New River Gorge National Park & Preserve is een uitgestrekt gebied dat bekend staat om zijn ruige kliffen en de New River die erdoorheen stroomt. Reizigers worden aangetrokken door de buitenactiviteiten zoals rotsklimmen, wildwatervaren en wandelen langs schilderachtige paden.
Het park heeft ook historische betekenis, met overblijfselen van kolenmijnen en spoorwegen uit de 19e eeuw. Bezoekers kunnen het rijke culturele erfgoed verkennen terwijl ze genieten van de natuurlijke schoonheid van de kloof.
