Hike Summary: It was a nice and cool fall afternoon in West Virgina. It was my first time there and the limited amount of time we had to hike, the Endless Wall Trail hit the spot. The trail can either be looped around or hiked in and out. Looping around takes you to the southern trailhead and parking lot, but a short hike along the roadside will take to the northern trailhead. The trail was damp, but there were few soggy spots and the trail gets a little rocky in some areas. When we hit the first few sets of lookout points the view was spectacular. We stopped to peak out over several cliffs. If you loop around to Diamond Point you'll want to keep going around the loop. There are several points where there are ladder access points and you can get in some poor man's rock climbing! Occasionally, you can catch an echo of a climber tinkering in the cliffsides.
