I landed at Hawks Nest State Park, which offers a unique vantage point overlooking the New River Gorge. The park is part of the Appalachian Mountains and boasts a rich history of coal mining. The scenery is breathtaking, with steep cliffs and dense forests that surround the gorge. The New River Gorge is home to over 53 miles of whitewater rapids, making it a popular destination for adventure seekers and river rafting enthusiasts. As I admired the view, I couldn't help but think about the geological processes that formed this remarkable landscape over millions of years. I compared the beauty of this place with other natural wonders I have seen in my travels. Hawks Nest State Park is definitely worth a visit for those who appreciate geological formations and spectacular views.
