Green River Adventures Presents The Gorge Steepest, Fastest Zip Line Canopy Tour Comes to the Green River Gorge

Green River Adventures presents The Gorge, the steepest, fastest canopy tour on the East Coast opening May 2013.

2012-11-22

SALUDA, NC, November 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Green River Adventures, a tourism-based guide service, launches The Gorge, the steepest, fastest canopy tour on the East Coast. Opening for May 2013, The Gorge will feature 9 zip lines, 2 sky-bridges, and 3 rappels in tree-based platforms. Participants will experience a 2.5-hour tour beginning at the outpost and finishing an unprecedented 1,100 vertical feet at the base of the gorge. Nine of the 13 tree-based platforms will have stunning views of the gorge.

"Our outpost is perched on the rim of the Green River Gorge. You're facing a 1,200-foot wall of the gorge so there's a really dramatic effect-like you're going to dive into the gorge," says Tim Bell, co-owner of Green River Adventures and The Gorge. "We've got views up the Green River Gorge where you look up into the narrows section, but you can also see out the barrel of the gorge over Lake Lure and all the way up into Linville Gorge and Lake James, and, actually, on a really, really clear day you can pick out Grandfather Mountain."

The canopy tour will complement the adventures already offered by Green River Adventures, which include guided inflatable kayak trips, whitewater kayak instruction, and waterfall adventures. Currently, GRA (Green River Adventures) operates from April through October. The Gorge will have an annual operating season of March through November.

"We hope that the addition of The Gorge will extend the tourism season for Saluda and encourage visitors to stay for multiple days in the area, which will benefit the local store owners, accommodations providers, and restaurants," says co-owner Sara Bell.

The Gorge gift certificates and scheduled tours starting June 1, 2013 will be available for purchase at http://www.greenrivergorge.com for Cyber Monday, November 26, 2012.
