More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet the guides under a slatted pavilion as the valley keeps its slow, patient hum—an ancient river daring you to fly above it. A short shuttle churns up a tree-lined road and deposits the group on a ridgeline that looks down into a bowl-shaped section of the New River Gorge. From here the course zigzags across open canopy and cliff-edge platforms; on the longest line the world drops away and the wind pushes a steady, clean line under you.
