Grandview, WV (HNN) -- The view at Grandview, east of Beckley in Raleigh County, is indeed grand with a horseshoe curve carved out by the New RIver giving a scenic view of the West Virginia hills for miles around.

There was still some color on the leaves on the surrounding trees even though muted on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 25. The cool breezy sunny fall day made it an ideal day for a jacket. The parking lot at one point was almost empty.
 
The Town of Prince can be seen in the distance down the valley and trains passing below can be heard and seen as they wind their way around the horseshoe land formation in the New River Gorge National Park.
