I've taken scout groups here twice in as many years. Scouts (high school age) and adults both had a great time climbing the via ferrata. The guides are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly -- and effective with high school kids. The climb itself is gorgeous. It's challenging enough to get your heart pounding, but within reach of anyone in decent shape.... More

The Via Ferrata at Nelson Rocks Outdoor Center can't be beat! The fixed climbing route makes rock climbing accessible to those without training in traditional rock climbing. All you need are some good friends, a little courage and a desire for an adventure! Scenery of Germany Valley is absolutely breathtaking. The rock formations of Nelson Rocks are astounding. Our guide... More

Spent the weekend to do both the zip lining and the Via. The zip lining was great... but the Via was EXCEPTIONAL! My friends, wife, and I have no climbing experience... but the guide (kudos to Jason) made us feel comfortable and lead a great and safe trip. We'll be back to enjoy the trip again during a different season!... More

I traveled to Circleville, WV with some family friends and we all stayed at the Yellow House. There are three separate bedrooms (one with a private bathroom and Jacuzzi tub!) The master room has 2 sets of bunk beds. One with a full size on the bottom and twin up top and the other one had both twin size (bottom... More

This is a wonderful place for a try at Zip Lining. While both my husband and I (55+) are active and in good shape, we were just a little nervous because of the speed and heights involved. The emphasis on safety by the staff was matched by their exuberance, and the entire 4 hours was great fun. It was such... More

My partner and I are regulars at our indoor climbing gym in Stirling, so we thought we would try the Via Ferrata (http://www.nelsonrocks.org/ViaFerrata.html). I could have climbed on that thing all day. Be sure to bring H20 and sunscreen, and a sense of adventure. If you have heights issues this may not be the place to conquer them, but if... More

From start to finish our trip to over a mile of canopy zip lines was handled professionally and safely. There were 12 zip lines, a training run, 3 swinging bridges, platforms, and a 40 foot final rappel. Our group consisted of 7 family and friends ranging in age from 15 to 58, split about half and half male to female,... More

The trip to Nelson Rocks on Rt. 33 was absolutely beautiful. Just trees and mountains--no litter or signs. It is in the middle of nowhere, which is just awesome!!! Professionally managed and staffed, brand new looking course. It was challenging enough to be exciting, but there were a lot of safety precautions so the average person is not terrified.. Those...

My teenage son and I went zip lining for the first time here. From the moment I contacted Kellee the experience she was kind, accommodating and personally helped arranged our whole stay. By the time they taught us/then practiced how to work the equipment, all our fears were changed to excitement. My son said it was "life changing" and he... More
