Mountain biking is the perfect addition to your West Virginia vacation. If you didn't already know it, there's a fat-tire paradise in southern West Virginia, and it's called the New and Gauley River canyons. With up to 1,000 feet of elevation and miles of mountain biking trails criss-crossing these canyons, you can pretty much take your pick.

Enjoy a fun half-day ride along the Thurmond-Minden Trail, which is 95% downhill (pedaling still required). Visit historic Thurmond and return to ACE Beach (right on the New River) on a Rails to Trails path where we'll be waiting to take you back to ACE on the canyon rim. This is the easiest mountain bike trip we offer.
