New River Gorge National Park, West Virginia Virtual Program at the CAST Senior Center
This program is free and open to the public. We’re off to see America’s Newest National Park in “Wild Wonderful” West Virginia! In December 2020, this 73,000- acre slice of paradise, encompassing a whitewater river, limestone cliffs and deep canyons, became the country’s newest national park. The lifeblood of the park is the New River, and despite its name it is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. For more than 260 million years, it has run northeasterly from the Blue Ridge Mountains near Boone, North Carolina, through southwest Virginia and into West Virginia, cutting through the Appalachian Plateau and joining with the Gauley River to form the Kanawha River in south-central West Virginia. Join us as discover the breathtaking beauty of this park and see for yourself why it is referred to as “Almost Heaven”! Presented by the Senior Learning Network.
