Ocean with the New River Gorge Bridge behind him in West Virginia

A photo story

New River Gorge Bridge

A selfie with the New River Gorge Bridge behind me in West Virginia, in June 2025. It was a warm afternoon, around 78, under a partly cloudy sky, with a little light rain still in the air from a wet day.

The bridge is a long steel arch over the gorge, and there are a few overlooks where you can get the whole span in the frame. I stood there and took the photo, then the next day I was on Backbone Mountain.
