It had warmed up by the time we made it to New River Gorge, but there was still snow, and it was still beautiful.

We hadn’t been to endless wall in the winter before, so I was surprised to see 1) how close we actually were to the ground and 2) the shape of the underlying mountains.

With the leaf fall, you can see across the river to the Kaymoor Miners Trail and old Kaymoor Mine site.

If you zoom in on this picture, you can more clearly see the 821 steps down to the railroad tracks.

Here is the bottom of the site and you can see the decayed buildings and ghosts of the railroad tracks.

The trail itself is a relatively easy and has an amazing payoff.

We wandered off trail a bit to explore the creek.
