Appalachian
Wildwaters - While none of our competitors offer the wide
scope of trips that we do, on each of our rivers we have lots of
healthy competition. In order to differentiate ourselves from
the pack, we try to share with you how we implement our motto of
"Excellence on (and off) Whitewater". We also
introduce our 3-5 day Adventure Mini Vacations and our Family
Adventure Mini Vacations. In order to maintain our focus on our
core competency of running excellent whitewater trips, we have
selected the best climbing, biking and horseback outfitters in
New River country and have them run these specialty trips,
rather than doing them ourselves. Over the years, we have built
a reputation for customer service: we promise to integrate all
these diverse activities into a seamless whole. Let us design an
unforgettable Adventure Mini Vacation just for you. (800)
