Some hikes are great ways to relax and get away from it all. Others are like small adventures, with surprises waiting around every corner. This trail is both, providing a unique hike you won’t likely forget.

The Endless Wall Trail runs adjacent to the New River Gorge National River, not far from the New River Gorge Bridge. This 2.7-mile loop trail takes you to some unexpected places and offers amazing views of the gorge.
