NRG Bridge at the newly designated New River Gorge National Park & Preserve

There is a lot of new about this old place. This photo of a massive bridge was taken on my first trip to the New River Gorge National River, which is now designated as a new national park. The New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia has already been announced in the media as our newest park but I think it will officially operate under the banner of one in the first few weeks of 2021.

 

Remember that Covid stimulus bill that passed into law at the end of December 2020? The massive legislation had tucked into it a provision that made the New River Gorge into a national park and preserve.
