More Adventure from my book �Exploring the Wilds of West Virginia�: Wolf Creek Falls

Image
Wolf Creek is well named. It�s wild, intimidating, and untamed. It charges down the slopes of the New River Gorge like a wild animal. Not surprisingly, Wolf Creek Falls are rough and rugged, too. Fortunately, you don�t have to hike far to find them because they�re just off a paved road. But as if lying in wait, they are quite hidden from the road, and undoubtedly thousands of visitors to the gorge drive right by them unaware of the awesome waterfall just a few feet from them. Wolf Creek Falls Hidden Treasure To find this hidden treasure of the gorge, you�ll need to drive into the New River Gorge and back out again. Starting from the Canyon Rim Visitor Center at the north end of the New River Gorge Bridge turn right out of the parking lot and drive two-tenths of a mile. Make a very sharp right hand turn, and proceed downhill a tenth of a mile to a junction with the Fayette Station Road.  View from Fayette Station Bridge Fayette Station Road Fayette Station Road is a one-way, paved road
