Live winds for New River Gorge Bridge
Use winDZaloft to check winds aloft, surface winds and gusts, and forecast trends around New River Gorge Bridge before you hike up. Published height: about 876 ft. The map pin and weather point mark the landmark (bridge, peak, or cliff) from OpenStreetMap, not a surveyed exit point. Elevation (835 ft) is terrain-model elevation at that point, so it can differ from both the exit and the landing area.
