line of beanies

by Nancy Bates

If you’re looking for adrenaline pumping adventures from white water rafting and BASE jumping, to rock climbing and mountain biking, New River Gorge is the place for you! But, if camping, hiking, and scenic drives are more your style, you’ll find it here too. Spring wildflowers, warm summers, spectacular fall foliage, and snowy winters keep visitors coming year round. Using 4 bold colors of nature, images of kayaks, paddles, and the famous New River Gorge bridge come alive in this blend of stranded colorwork and classic stripes.
