Join us for the Ride for the Rescue and support a great cause (New River Animal Rescue) while exploring America’s newest National Park by Jeep or other street legal 4X4! In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve offers breathtaking landscapes, a rich coal mining history, and unforgettable off-the-beaten-path views.
For this benefit ride, bring your own Jeep Wrangler or other street-legal 4×4 vehicle and come explore the backroads of the New River Gorge with our team! The ride features an exciting half-day adventure covering approximately 75 miles of scenic country roads, rugged dirt trails, and challenging Jeep routes—all while raising funds for our local animal shelter. You’ll cross the New River Gorge from rim to rim twice, with views ranging from stunning mountain top overlooks to serene river valleys.
Throughout the ride, we’ll make stops at a ghost town, waterfalls, and historic coal mining sites. You’ll hear fascinating stories, local legends, and learn about the proud heritage of the area—all while making a difference for animals in need. So come out, bring your Jeep, and enjoy an epic day of adventure, nature, and community for a great cause!
Reservations are per machine. All proceeds benefit the New River Animal Rescue!
