Apparently, it does!!! Burning Rock is near the white water rafting place. I've not ridden there so I have altered my plans. PLUS they have a Zip Line. I'll get to try that out too!

I've looked at the zip line but since I'm a fat boy I dont get to experience it. Apparently the load limit is 250 lbs Sad

Coral & I have had a nice trip so far. We rode Buffalo Mtn. Tuesday and had a nice ride. It was Coral's first trip to that trail. We camped at the trailhead in Matewan, WV. Nice facilities but tokens needed for the showers. Nothing like an unexpected sponge bath instead of a shower. Nice weather.
Tuesday evening we drove to Burning Rock. It took about 3 1/2 - 4 hours to drive 100 miles. You'd have to be there to know why. No roads are straight an flat if they can be made twisty and up or down hill. 3rd gear in my 6 speed truck most of the way. Exhaust brake works wonders.
Very nice trails. Well marked, similar to Hatfield McCoy trails. 2 days of riding would cover it.
Today, Thursday we awoke to rain and a gloomy forecast. We only had plans to ride the Zip Line and head over to where the rest of the gang was spending the night, Oak Hill, WV.
Zip Line was cool, but "the Boys" weren't too happy with the harness!!!
Cell service has been spotty at best. Pretty decent in Oak Hill.

Going to do that as part of my 50th class reunion next year. They also have a super zip 1/4 mi long.

Burning Rock has the 2nd longest one in the U.S. according to them.
It wasn't scary at all.

Zip Line video...raining a bit...Had to stop the camera to "brace for impact" prior to the end of the run.

AT the 30 second mark it starts to get interesting! At the 45 second mark it gets real interesting!

Both nice videos...

That zip line is longer then I thought it would be... not that it matters... Neutral Wink

Enjoyed the rest of the pictures too.

Great report, TW. Looked to be a great vacation. Liked the pics and videos a lot. Also enjoyed the humor. I'm almost positive a girl designed the safety harness. Otherwise... Laughing

Thanks for sharing! WV Thrill Ride 339301

Oh yea, the "boys" weren't happy!

No pics for the rafting. We did buy the video, but I dont have my copy yet. Good times there too. Very wet for those in front. Care to guess where I sat?
