Booking your youth group ski trip. Best places to go. Best company to use. Nexstep Travel

It’s that time of year. Students are returning to school and your youth group is getting ready for the upcoming events. For many, a winter ski retreat is on the horizon. Now is the best time to start planning for the winter, since the best lodging options sell out first. The first thing to do is pick a date. If you’re close enough ( less than 4 hours ) to a ski resort, any non holiday weekend will always work best ( in Friday, Ski Sat, Depart Sun ) This will allow more affordable options as well as being far less crowded.

If you need to drive more than 6 hours, then a holiday weekend seems more appropriate ( in Friday, Ski Sat & Sun, depart Monday ) MLK ( JAN 17-20) and PRESIDENTS ( FEB 14-17 ) are popular weekends as well as Christmas break dates. Once you have the dates in mind, just give us a call. Our Nexstep Travel Adventure Specialist will put together various package options based on your budget, ideas and drive time. We work with 13 ski resorts and have hundreds of package options. It’s never been so easy and affordable to book your next winter ski retreat!

Compare rates to resorts in WV ( Winterplace, Snowshoe, Canaan Valley), MD ( Wisp ) NC ( Beech Mtn, Wolf Ridge, Cataloochee, Sugar, Appalchian ) VA ( Massanutten, Wintergreen) IN ( Perfect North) and CO ( Keystone, Winter Park, Sunlight ).

Pigeon River, Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge Group Rafting Nexstep Travel

THE BEST WHITE WATER RAFTING AT GATLINBURG & PIGEON FORGE!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER PIGEON RIVER SECTIONS?

The Pigeon River offers two exciting trips ranging from big splashy white water to a quiet float for the youngest first-timers. The popular Upper Pigeon is five miles of intermediate class III and class IV rapids – with views into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, making for a thrilling ride through drops like Powerhouse, Big Rock, Roller Coaster, Lost Guide and Double Reactionary.
The easy-going Lower Pigeon is the perfect trip for novices, for families with small children or those seeking a fun and relaxing river experience. This is a mellow 2.5 hour trip on class I and II white water, and has the lowest age restriction of any trip Wildwater runs – age 4!

SUMMER RAFTING ON THE PIGEON

Summer trips are scheduled 4 days a week, from Memorial Day thru Labor Day: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday plus Saturday.

EARLY SPRING & FALL RAFTING

There are no scheduled water releases in the Spring & Fall in the Tennessee Smokies on the Pigeon River. However, we often are able to raft on gorgeous fall days when seasonal rains have brought the levels up, or when the power companies need to release water for extra power generation. Water levels range from class I-II and sometimes we get class IV rapids! We usually don’t know levels until time of rafting – so call our reservations office for more information and reservations!

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR PIGEON TRIP

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains while visiting us in Hartford. The Wildwater facility offers a clean shower house, two cozy shops to browse through, and our very own Pigeon River Dog House where you can enjoy a delicious lunch or afternoon snack. We have two pavilions to enjoy a picnic lunch with your family. You can also enjoy a friendly game of volleyball or cornhole before or after your trip. All Pigeon River trips have a guide in every raft.
