“The Upper Gauley…Twice in a Single Day!”
This trip is for those who just can’t get enough of a good thing. You’ll do the best part of the Upper Gauley, including all 6 Class V+ monsters…then you’ll eat lunch and run them all again!
The Upper Gauley is simply the best 1-day rafting trip in America! No other river has the Gauley’s unique combination of high volume and tight, technical rapids. It’s powerful, relentless and scary…more fun than you can imagine! Now imagine doing it twice in one incredible day!
Our trip begins at the base of Summersville Dam and runs 10 miles of almost continuous rapids. Rapids with names like Lost Paddle, Pillow Rock, Iron Ring, Insignificant and the incomparable Sweets Falls are truly the stuff of legend. After lunch and a short bus ride back to the dam, we do the entire Upper Gauley again. You’ll run over 90 rapids and 21 miles of whitewater.
As with all our Premier trips, the Double Upper uses our light and agile 14-foot rafts. With only 6 or 7 paddlers, these custom-designed rafts are simply the best boats on the Gauley.
Don’t choose this trip unless everyone in your group is in good physical shape and ready for a full day of strenuous paddling. |
