Hike Gwinn Ridge Trail, New River, West Virginia

South of Sandstone Visitor Center on the east side of the New River off Brooks Mountain Road is the Gwinn Ridge Trail, a three mile loop through a ridge top forest. The south branch of the moderately strenuous trail follows the edge of the ridge where hikers can sometimes (in winter) get views through the trees. It then descends off the north side of the ridge, climbs back up, and loops back to the starting point. The trail can sometimes be difficult to follow in places.To reach the trailhead, follow Brooks Mountain Road from Route 20 for 2.5 miles to a small parking area at the trailhead.
