Landscape Narrative	Rimrock and gorge slope cliffs in a deep gorge cut by a high energy river. Cliff tops often have narrow zones of conifer dominated forest. Below the cliffs are mostly deciduous forests. This area is one of the most popular climbing areas in West Virginia.;Sandstone cliff face above a deep gorge cut by the New River.
