    Awesome hike. It has a little bit of everything to offer. Great views, waterfalls, challenging climbs. We did it with our two dogs and they did great.

    First time in 15 years on a bike with gears and brakes. First time on a mountain bike and it’s a real workout! Really fun trail for a beginner.

    Long point trail - new River NP
    Great hike through a shaded forest for the majority. Interesting plants to view particularly the flowers and shrubs. Lookout was wonderful.

    This was a great hike with some awesome views. We are not in trail shape but we were still able to accomplish this hike in a relatively short time with no major issues. No water is available so pack plenty.
