Virginia, New River Trail

Great Smoky Mountains Road Trip -- Day 5:  After a quick morning ride in South Carolina, I am at Foster Falls access point on the New River Trail, Virginia.

Foster Falls and Park HQ

New River Trail is a 57-mile linear park that follows an abandoned railroad right-of-way. The park parallels the scenic New River for most of the way.  It features two tunnels, three major bridges.

Nicely graded crushed gravel

This is fantastic trail and I can't believe I only am riding for a few hours.
