A scenic drive down Fayette Station Road is a must while visiting New River Gorge National Park. It is a narrow road, in the heart of the New River Gorge, that winds its way along cliffs, down to the river. If you slow down, you can get a pretty good view of the New River Gorge Bridge as you meander down the mountain. National Park Service has even created an audio tour for the drive. Here is the link to listen to it.
