About New River Gorge — Beauty Mountain

Access via Beauty Mountain Road from the junction of Buckhorn and Beauty Mountain Rd — parking with pit toilet, then a good gravel road dropping into the gorge with cutoff paths to sectors. Same NPS rules as the rest of the NRG apply (no drones, no new bolts). Cumberland sandstone wet-rock ethic still applies.
