New River Gorge

From Pennsylvania we traveled to West Virginia to New River Gorge. This is a beautiful gorge.

On the first day we visited two of the visitor centers and did some hiking.

We saw a group of people in zip line gear getting ready to traverse the lower level of this bridge. I don't think I would enjoy walking under a busy bridge. People have bungi jumped from the bridge. Others have parachuted off the bridge. We camped that night. The next morning we reported to Aces Adventures for our white water rafting tour. We took a bus up stream and got into our boats. The half before lunch is fairly tame with just a few rapids. The half after lunch had many rapids. Only one person over turned. The weather was perfect - sunny and warm. The river water was about 84 degrees. The grand girls jumped off a rock and swam in the river. What fun!
