5.5-mile, Moderate hike (with shorter distances possible).
Morning hike 10 am. Afternoon hike directly after picnic. This hike is planned in conjunction with the WV Sierra Club’s summer picnic at the Grandview area. We will piece together several NPS trails on a moderate pre-picnic hike of 2 miles and an easy post-picnic hike of 2.5 miles. Join us for some or all. Grandview offers unsurpassed views of the deepest section of New River Gorge. The morning hike will include towering fortress-like rock walls, exposed coal seams, rock tunnels, and a large rock overhang. The afternoon hike will include an easy walk to the dramatic Turkey Spur overlook followed by a loop through rolling forest that features a diversity of flora.
