Family fun at New River Gorge National Park West Virginia

11 comments

 

New River Gorge is famous for being home to one of the oldest rivers on Earth, featuring world-class whitewater rafting, and holding the status of America's newest national park (2020). Ancient River: Despite its confusing name, the New River is estimated by geologists to be tens of millions of years old, making it one of the oldest rivers on the continent.

 

 




 

 

 The last week in July, my nephew James, his wife, Heather, his daughter, Christina, her fiancĂ©, Conner, and his son, Joe, went to have fun at the New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia. He and Heather have shared their photos. Many thanks to my family for sharing!!

 

 


 

 The family hiked, swam, and enjoyed the white water.

 

 


 


 


 

 


 

 


 

 




 


 

 I'm not an adventurous person. In even my prime, which was decades ago, I would have said "Hell no" to bungee jumping!

 


 

 


 

 They had a great time, and Heather celebrated her birthday during this great family vacation!
