I got to go to West Virginia for the first time last week with a friend, and we had an amazing time! Her brother is a river rafting guide there so that's how we got into that. She has been several times, but this is my first and I've always wanted to try it. Now I'm hooked!
We rafted the lower New River which has several class 1-5 rapids. We were on the water several hours, and we had lunch as well.
Can you spot the bald eagle in the tree?
After rafting we met her brother Sean and he took us around the area. He showed us this beautiful view from the mountainside of the upper river, then we went to the {almost} ghost town of Thurmond and looked around.
The scenery in the area is just beautiful!
The next morning we went ziplining! This was also my first time and it was a blast! Not as scary as I thought it would be once you see how safely you are harnessed in. We got some amazing views as we zipped through the trees!
After ziplining we met for brunch, then off for another adventure in the mountains! This time it was a hike up to Longpoint which was a breathtaking vista of the mountains, river, and New River Gorge Bridge. Just amazing!!!!
The next morning we got breakfast with her brother then hit the road for our drive home. It was a great trip and I was able to mark a couple things off my bucket list!
