Laurita and Lauren are excited -- and a little bit nervous -- to try whitewater rafting during their trip to Harpers Ferry, WV. They head to River Riders, an outdoor recreation company that offers a smorgasbord of activities including whitewater rafting, flat-water tubing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. The 3-hour rafting trip offers plenty of rapids and excitement, along with spectacular views of Harpers Ferry and the river valley that surrounds it at the confluence of the Potomac River and Shenandoah River. After a day spent on the water, this excursion is a "10 out of 10 would recommend!"
