About Endless Wall Trail
A forest of towering trees and large rhododendrons leads out to a long line of Nuttall sandstone cliffs high above the New River Gorge. Short spur paths branch off to several overlooks, with Diamond Point the main stop. Roots and rocks make footing uneven in places, and the trail is busy, so early mornings are quieter. Returning to your car means either a stretch of road or retracing the same path back from Diamond Point.
