The National Park Service is reopening the visitor centers at the New
River Gorge National
River.
Officials say the Canyon
Rim Visitor Center
in Lansing and the Sandstone
Visitor Center
near Hinton are set to reopen on Friday with limited services.
Park service employees are continuing assessments and
cleanup of damage to park locations from Superstorm Sandy.
All park areas were closed Monday in anticipation of bad
weather conditions. Other closures at the park are still in effect.
Officials also say park staff has not conducted full
assessments of the numerous trails at this time, but preliminary assessments
indicate widespread tree damage on the trails.
The park service is advising visitors to stay off the trails
because of downed trees and the potential for weakened trees to continue
falling.
