Concert tickets are $40; an All-Mountain Pass at $69 buys the concert, camping Friday and Saturday nights, a pass to enjoy activities on ACE Adventure Lake (http://aceraft.com/ The Gauley that runs through the heartof West Virginia’s mountains is considered to be one of the most exciting stretches of commercially runnable whitewater in the world. To whitewater enthusiasts, it’s a “must do!” The catch is, one can only raft its most challenging whitewater in the fall. From the Friday after Labor Day until mid-October, the Army Corps of Engineers on weekends releases water from the Summersville Dam at a rate of 2,800 cubic feet per second. As it rushes downriver, the flow creates huge waves, runnable waterfalls, eddies and holes that provide all the thrills a rafter could wish for. ACE’s signature Fall Upper Gauley – All Day (http://aceraft.com/ Fall Gauley Marathon – All Day (http://aceraft.com/ ACE’s popular 2 Day Fall Classic – Gauley River Overnight Rafting (http://aceraft.com/ About Gauley River: Administered by the National Park System, this river has been designated a National Recreation Area for its beauty and challenging rapids targeting thrill-seeking adventurers worldwide. The river is 105 miles long and its rapids range from Class II to Class V+. The most notable of these are called the “Big Five” rapids, all Class V; Insignificant, Pillow Rock, Lost Paddle, Iron Ring, and Sweet’s Falls – each one intimidating and powerful. Peak season is from (summer) April to August and (fall) September through October. The ultimate season is the fall, although the Gauley does run all summer long usually at lower flows. ACE pioneered the Summer Gauley program that takes guests down the river in inflatable kayaks during milder summer flows.
