Fall in West Virginia 🍂🍁

Peaceful. Idyllic. Like a movie set. 

And also… (swipe 👉🏽)

Exciting! Unexpected, and full of heart pumping adventure! Fall in visitwv is also known as West Virginia’s “5th season” — Gauley Season!

What’s Gauley season you may be wondering? It’s a 6-week period in September and October where the dam controlled Gauley River is released, producing world-class rapids. 

I spent a day rafting Class IV and V rapids on the Gauley with river.expeditions and it was probably the most fun day I have ever had. Top five for sure. 

It felt so empowering and humbling and exciting and invigorating. All at once. To work together with former strangers to accomplish a big goal. To truly learn what the river wanted to teach me that day. 

So much more than even I could fit into a caption. 

It was incredible. And a must for anyone visiting. (You can raft the New River as well and during more of the year 🤗) 

Fall in wvtourism truly has something for everyone. #AlmostHeaven indeed. #WVTourismPartner

Have you whitewater rafted?
