About this park:
A rugged, whitewater river flowing northward through deep canyons, the New River is among the oldest rivers on the continent. The park encompasses over 70,000 acres of land along the New River, is rich in cultural and natural history, and offers an abundance of scenic and recreational opportunities.
Why did we choose these colors?
We were inspired by the Spring flowers found in the park, and our colorway is modeled after the first photo in this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5DkYnM7re/?img_index=1
The flower is a Pink Lady Slipper.
