we have been to the area numerous times, including the overlook, But nothing compared to driving down the narrow winding road leading down UNDER the bridge! Even in Feb when the trees are barren the rock formations and waterfalls are beautiful! Glad to be a West Virginian!

We travel through this area 2-3 times a year. We ALWAYS stop at the visitor's center to stretch our legs. We stop on our initial trip as well as the return trip. It's just so beautiful! The center provides a neat little history of the area including a short film if you have a few minutes. (I believe it's less... More

The views of mountains, bridges and a gorgeous river are spectacular. The area is rich with the history of early train travel as well as coal mining. The local folks were warm and extremely helpful... More

The roads are narrow so take your time and enjoy the scenery. Once you get to the bottom, you will see the old bridge that is hardly... More

We stopped by the Gorge on the way from Louisville, KY to Hopewell, VA on Sunday, April 21. We stayed in Fayette, at the Quality inn, and had dinner at Dirty Dicks Ribs. Would have been a great trip except on Monday morning, we awoke to 2 inches of snow, more coming. Had breakfast and a quick view fo the... More
