I grew up in Somerset County PA, which is a little over a two-hour drive from there, but I have never been there. My niece attends WVU. It looks like a beautiful place!

[@evanmckittrick5192]

Definitely not what I would have expected to find in West Virginia (no disrespect intended!) 😅 Might have to add it to the bucket list. Fantastic video, guys!

[@MoreThanJustParks]

Yeah New River Gorge has a lot of unexpected and incredible adventures. We were really pleasantly surprised!

[@dante777666777]

Discovered it a couple years ago. Friends live along the river.Not to be selfish but I was hoping that place would stay a secret.Absolutely beautiful there.

[@Rhuarc1]

We who live here are intensely aware of the beauty of our home. And while we welcome everyone, we also jealously guard it. We want everyone to love it as much as we do.

My mom loved this bridge. I have pictures that she took of it.

[@interstateruler]

such a pretty place and I think we should all respect out parks in order to make it more beautiful. It's sad to some people would deface our precious National Parks. I think we should treat our Parks with Love and Respect.

Are we allow to use drone?

[@macc.1132]

Best National Park on the East Coast? Maybe after Acadia or the Everglades or Great Smokey Mtns? Not bad company.

[@Rhuarc1]

I feel West Virginia has a special, almost sylvan energy that sets it apart.

[@pamleagalligan1348]

Have u ever heard of this place?vaca destination ROAD TRIP🎉🎉💕🙏☮️

[@grichnak4794]

Maybe a bit too focused on humans in some parts of the video, but all in all very pretty and enjoyable to watch. Good job guys !

[@MoreThanJustParks]

Thanks so much!! Humans be humans yenno.

[@macc.1132]

It puts things into perspective. Lots of idiots run around and trash the place, so it's nice to see folks being respectful.
