Day 25: New River Gorge National Park

Here are some pictures of our stop at a couple of places within New River Gorge National Park. Also, our swearing in ceremony as Junior Ranger’s of New River Gorge National Park. There is a separate post of Thurmond, WV which is a little gem of the historic past within New River Gorge.

So, when we headed out on this trip we planned to visit 10 National Parks earning our Jr. Ranger badges at each. What we didn’t know was New River Gorge was added as a National Park in 2020 - So, we added this park to our itinerary - It was well worth it. The Jr. Ranger booklet is excellent. More important the ranger went through the booklet with us (many do this) and really added more information about various topics.

The ranger gave us the key places to go visit and it was well worth the little side trips.Read more
