Whitewater Rafting Center contd.

Here is the rest about my trip to the Whitewater Center!!

After the Adventure Course and the Climb 2 Zip we went to the parking lot and ate our sandwiches that we brought with us. You can either bring your lunch (if you bring it, you can't actually bring it into the center) or you can buy it at their River's Edge Bar & Grill (a full service restaurant) or you can buy sandwiches and/or snacks and drinks at one of their "gift shops."
      When lunch was over we headed right back to where the Climb 2 Zip and the Adventure Course were went on to do the Canyon Crossing: Which is pretty much just like the Adventure Course but harder and at the end you take a zip line back over the 250 ft gorge. It wasn't that scary to me but my little sisters were a little freaked out, but they got over it. The hardest part of crossing was the last element you had to do before you got to the zip line. You had to cross a thin cable with nothing to hold onto but the rope that had you harnessed in!!


Crossing the first element!

Trying to hang on!

Finished!!

When we got done with that we headed over to the Climbing wall, the climbing wall here is one of the largest outdoor climbing centers in the country! I got in line for the hardest one, but when I was about 5 feet off the ground I couldn't get my hand to the rock that I wanted to grab on to so I got down and did the medium difficulty level one. The medium one I got to the top of in no time; it was pretty simple, and not scary at all. After I was finished, I climbed on some of the wall that wasn't being used and just played around 'till it was time to go.


Almost to the top.

Without a harness.


I had so much fun there. If you want to know more here is the link to their website: http://usnwc.org/
