Since buying Nelson Rocks in 2009, Virginia-based Endless Horizons has added a welcome center, hotel-style rooms and a canopy tour of 12 zip lines through tall trees.

The Seneca Rocks Discovery Center has recorded between about 60,000 and 67,000 annual visitors each of the last five years with the exception of a dip during the government shutdown of 2013, said the center's director Kevin Duncan. The study notes winding, steep roads into the county from east and west, along with limited Internet and cell phone access.
