Default Zip Lining in Virginia

Ok, like you guys recommended, I got my Virginia Scenic Byways Map and I got the wife talked into doing zip lining this Spring. I coming from Maryland (Rt 15) into Va. Anybody got any good advice for places for an overnight Zip Line adventure in VA??

Forget the zip lining. There are a hundred wineries between Winchester and Charlottesville. Stagger on through.

We zip lined at a place called Massunutten in Va, it was Ok but I am sure there are better places. The place we stayed at was real nice though.

Its out of your way but I personally like zip lining in WV near the in the New River bridge. Lots of good roads & scenery in that area.

Yep. Zip lining, walk out under the bridge on the catwalk, ride a motorcycle down into the gorge. Fun times.

Yep, thinking about breaking her in at the Harpers Ferry zip lines; they're closer. Then a trip down to the New River. Their suppose to be one the best places on the East Coast. Isn't the New River Bridge where they do that base jumping every year?

Heading down the road under the New River Gorge Bridge is where I dropped my Harley the first time. Lots of real slow 180's on sand and gravel. Locked in a tight right turn at about 5 mph, I tapped the front break. Over I went. West Virginia was very interesting country for a flat lander.
