Scenic Route to New River Gorge - By Guest

I came into New River Gorge from farther west on 19 North / South just off of the North Beckley exit at Exit 48. It is an amazing place to stop and smell the roses. you can stay at a local campgrond called Riftrafters for only $18 bucks a night in a cabin and that was the best deal I found inthe area. Tons of coal mines , and whitewater rafting all over the surrounding area. If you haven't been to the gorge yet it is one of themust see destinations in the US.
