"Was down there yesterday (June 26th, 2011) for the first time (from Pittsburgh, PA)…spent two days at Pinnacle/Indian Ridge, and the third at Burning Rock….I foresee an upcoming multi-day trip just to Burning Rock! What a beautiful place….what a class act….wonderfully nice staff….great store…..and most importantly…..AWESOME trails!!!!!!!!! My group (2 from Philly area, 1 from TN and myself) had such a GREAT time. I sure wish I lived closer, it would definitely be my “default” riding place. Maybe I should move……..Thanks for such an awesome experience. We will be back as soon as we can."

Racing zip lines are a blast!

But really, I have just been itching to get on the Read More...Zipping Into Spring
