We were home in Ohio for the month of October and almost all of November. We weren’t scheduled to be at our campground in Florida until December 1. It was so cold in Ohio, we left a week early and decided to spend a couple days at New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. This park is in the Appalachian Mountain Chain.

We found a nice campground just a couple miles from the Canyon Rim Visitor Center at the north end of the park. The weather was cloudy and drizzly, but at least it wasn’t snowing and freezing like it was in Ohio.

We always go to the Visitor Center first and get information and maps. And of course, my stamp and sticker in my National Park Passport Book.

We started at the Canyon Rim Visitor Center at the north end of the park and drove the Fayette Station Road to see the New River Gorge Bridge. Even though it was fall, it was absolutely gorgeous here.
