Description

The Grandview Rim Trail is a wonderful option for those wanting a relatively short hike with spectacular views. Descend gently on the dirt-treaded trail, being sure to pause at the viewpoints of the New River Gorge along the way. Near the northern end of the trail, use caution as there is a steep descent near the junction with Turkey Spur Rd.

Brisk day. Nice walk along the rim. Visitor Center closed this time of year. Did not walk all the way to Turkey Spur.
