Hey, located Ripley, WV driving a 2006 Jeep XK. Mainly exploring the Monogelieha National, and New River National River currently with current goals of the beach, MOAB, and Alpine Loop around Ouray, CO.
New River area is really nice.. We came down to Burning Rock about 10 years ago with our 2 atv's. Did a 5 day vaca. Had a cabin near Beaver. Cabins at Pine Haven, they are linked through the BR site..But we camp in vehicles now, right??!!! I heard that Burning Rock opened up to 4x4 vehicles also.. You could check them out..https://burningrockwv.com/ My wife and I really liked it there..They've added the camping/cabins since we were there.. They had just installed the zipline but wouldn't allow us to ride...lol..

Greetings, new member and new to Overlanding. I live in Charleston and starting to get some goodies for my 4Runner. Last year I tagged along with a group that did a short trip to Watoga and some rural roads in the area, but nothing very technical. I'm hoping to do a couple short trips in the region this year. I'd like to head down to VA mountains and explore and the KAT in Kentucky.
Welcome, I am based only 45 min north of you. If you ever want to tag along with us or want some company on trips let me know.

Greetings from Parkersburg, Wv. I’m in a 2016 F-150, currently the only mods are a level, and I’m waiting on the arrival of bigger/more aggressive tires. Have only done very minimal exploring since I bought the truck, but wanting to get out. Any recommendations here in Wv?

I'm planning a trip to New River Gorge soon, do you have any locations you'd recommend? Trails that are passable for a stock 4runner with a trailer? Many thanks in advance.

Late to response, my apologies. Have not found many trails in that area yet, there is some free primative campsites however. Army Camp, Glade Creek, and Grand Sandbar. They are not bad places with pit toilets. During the tourst time of year can be hard to find a spot as it is first come first serve basis. How ever we took our XK and pulled a M416 trailer across a fun road. If you are affriad of some pin stripping then I would not advise it. And couple places could be challenging. Called McKendree Rd if your coming in from the town of Prince, WV. We made it all the way through and a stock 4 runner could. Just wouldnt advise when it is wet.

I came down from sw NY last August.. did the Canaan Loop out of Black Water Falls state park and a good section of the Shenendoah /Allegheny loop.. Flagpole Knob, Spruce Knob... It seemed a lot of the trail followed along Laseki [sp] tree farm property MANY miles worth..

Greetings, also from Charleston. Still new but also still getting my ride ready. I had hoped to get out some more this spring/summer but current events are not the most conducive.

Yeah unfortunately idk when any of the camp grounds will be back open but at least it gives me a little more time to get the rig ready
