They didn’t call it Averageview—and with good reason.
On first glance, the scene reminds you of Arizona’s Horseshoe Bend in the way that the river snakes around the landscape. In West Virginia, though, it’s a much more lush scene, with trees and brush carpeting the gorge. It’s especially breathtaking in the fall, when the leaves change their color.
Grandview Overlook is roughly 40 minutes from Fayetteville, West Virginia, so keep that in mind if you’re considering heading out for sunrise or sunset.
