The Summer Whitewater Rafting Season has arrived here in California, and now is the best possible time to book your trip. Here’s why:
Go Rafting This Summer (July, August & early September):
Between now and early September we will offer daily departures (7 Days a Week!) on both the South Fork of the American & Middle Fork of the American River, as well as most days on the Tuolumne River and the Class V+ Cherry Creek (Upper Tuolumne). Please contact us for details about trip availability on specific dates.
