Black Friday Long Point Hike

Enjoy a hike in New River Gorge National River on November 25, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. 
Skip the long lines and crowded stores on a free hike in New River Gorge National River on Friday, February 25, 2016. Hike 3.2 miles (round trip) on the Long Point Trail with a National Park Service ranger and a community captain from Active Southern West Virginia to #OptOutside on Black Friday. This easy to moderate trail leads to one of the best views of the gorge and New River Gorge Bridge, a nice scenic spot to celebrate Thanksgiving week. Be prepared for a short, steep section of trail near Long Point. Wear hiking shoes and be prepared for anticipated weather conditions. Meet at the Long Point trailhead off Gatewood Road near Fayetteville at 10:00 am. Miles hiked on this activity count toward mileage totals for the New River Gorge 100 Mile Challenge, the celebration of the 100^th anniversary of the National Park Service.
