New River Gorge National Park

6 March 2021

OK, it’s been a year pretty much locked away in my house other than the odd doctor’s appointment and my morning walks and afternoon bike rides. I need to get away. The impetus was the creation of our newest national park – New River Gorge in West Virginia. That and I want to see the daffodils again at Gibbs Gardens.

It’ll be a ten day trip with stops at Olena State Park in Florida, Amicalola Falls State Park in Georgia, New River Gorge National Park, and then Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina (but hopefully I’ll get to hike to the top of Pilot Mountain). Pilot Mountain State Park was full as far as campsites so I opted for Hanging Gardens to pitch a tent. They are close together so it will not be any trouble going back and forth. I’ve been to Hanging Rock before but it’s a great park and I maybe will get to climb to Hanging Rock again.

One thing I will do is a four hour zipline trip at Amicalola Falls. I have never experienced that but I figured if I was going to do it, do the longest one they have.

Below is my itinerary and I hope to blog the whole trip. Weather is always iffy in the spring and I expect colder temperatures than listed and lots of rain. I’ll be tent camping for almost the entire trip. I will also spend two nights at each location except for the bed and breakfast at Amelia Island. That allows me to get a least one long day hike in every park.

I will also do a side trip to Gibbs Gardens at Ball Ground, Georgia. It’s my second trip there and the gardens officially opened March 5th. I should be able to see the early blooming daffodils. My last trip there was also in March but the early bloomers had already departed and the middle bloomers were out. You can see the photos of my last trip here. I hope to have a whole new set this year.
