Nothing makes your heart beat faster than your sweetie, right? Wrong. Our zip line canopy tour is the most heart-pounding thing you can do this time of year here in the New River Gorge (unless you want to brave some icy whitewater, then winter/spring rafting actually beats everything on the heart-pounding scale). This Valentine's Day weekend, we...

It's official. You're doing this whole Momster-thing right. Fist bump. BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER A little adventure can bring everyone together. No matter how...
It’s no big secret raft guides have major swagger. From My Little Pony swim shorts to polyester suits and NRS belts these guys set fashion trends without even trying. In fact, we’ve heard a rumor you’re going to see raft guide inspired collections on the runways of Paris, New York or Milan soon. With that in...
