i think this was mistakenly listed under kentucky and the red. seems like it should be the nrg.bentley wrote: New River Gorge Viewshed and Climbing Access Protection, Kentucky, Kentucky (2006)
A grant was awarded to the New River Alliance of Climbers to conduct modeling research on the potential climbing viewshed impact of proposed housing developments on the rim of the New River Gorge. The National Park Service’s viewshed analysis shows approximately 20% of the lots will be visible from highly utilized areas in the park, including areas used for climbing such as Beauty Mountain. The Park Service analysis is limited by its inability to definitively model the impact of the development when the leaves have fallen. An independent third party with the ability to model the vegetative cover is needed to validate the park service analysis. This modeling will include viewshed impacts from popular climbing areas.
thanks for the props bentley
