This Just Might Be The Most Beautiful Hike In All Of West Virginia
There are so many amazing places to hike in West Virginia. It’s tough to pick a favorite, but the Endless Wall trail above the New River Gorge just might be the most stunning.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

When you reach the end of the trail, you can either go back the way you came, or walk .5 miles along the road back to your car.
There are a number of different overlooks along the trail.
You'll be walking right on top of them!
From this view, they really do seem endless.
If looking down does make you a little nervous, you'll feel safer if you stick to the main path.
This will be a fantastic place to view the changing leaves this fall!
Although it’s named the Endless Wall trail, the hike is only 4.4 miles.
To reach the trailhead, turn off Route 19 onto Lansing-Edmond Road, located just north of the Canyon Rim Visitor Center. Fern Creek Trailhead is located 1.3 miles (just before Fern Creek) down this road, while the Nuttall Trailhead is 1.8 miles from U.S. Route 19. Lansing-Edmond Road is a narrow road, so use caution driving down it.
