Every fall, Goodwin Canyon, a Class IV-IV+ river, makes an appearance for a short (and very exciting) two weeks. While it runs, we always want to take full advantage of this once a year phenomenon! This year is no exception. We will be ready to launch as soon as the water reaches optimum levels on Thursday, October […]
Class IV rafting is reborn this October. Much like the phoenix, which expires and then is reborn in fire, class IV rafting will wear itself out at the end of September as the Middle Fork American River loses rafting flows but then resurges in the middle of October as the Goodwin Canyon opens for a […]
One door closes, another one opens…….as we say ciao-cito to the Tuolumne and Cherry Creek this week we’re happy to announce that Goodwin Canyon will soon be online once again! A limited number of trips will be available Oct 17th to October 29th so you’ve only got a couple weeks to experience this unique class […]
There are plenty of options for California rafting right now, but don’t forget that in mid-October we’ll be hosting a series of rafting trips on Goodwin Canyon. This is an unusual river trip because while most of the rapids are class III, there are two impressive Class IV+ rapids that spice up the day–Mr. Toad’s […]
So if a tree falls in Goodwin Canyon, does it matter if no rafters were there to see it? Turns out it does! We were all set for a great little spring season on Goodwin Canyon but as soon as our bags were packed we had to re-rack because there is literally a tree blocking […]
One of the “silver linings” of the snowpack/flow situation here in California this year is the opportunity to do spring raft trips on Goodwin Canyon. As with last year, we’ll host our popular “Goodwin Canyon Days” in the Fall (more info on that later!), but we also have the chance to raft this unusual class IV […]
Fall is officially here, but we are still officially rafting! The Middle Fork of the American ended its season over the weekend, but we still have two fabulous California rivers we would love to share with you! The South Fork of the American is of course still going strong. No surprises there. Class III rapids, […]
Are you one of those rafters who has taken down all that AO has to offer? You’ve mastered Cherry Creek, know both sections of the South Fork better than your own children, and could probably guide a raft down Tunnel Chute? Well then first of all, thanks for being awesome. But also, we have a […]
Just because the kids are back in school–and by kids of course I mean a bunch of our college-kid river guides–doesn’t mean we’ve packed up for the year and thrown away the last tube of sunblock. Our fair River Office is quieter these days for sure but there are still plenty of options for rafting […]
Every 5-7 years Goodwin Canyon, a Class IV-IV+ river, makes an appearance and keeps us beggin’ for more! This year is one of those years and we’re not going to let it go until we’ve experienced all it has to offer. In addition to our normal 1-Day itinerary, we’re celebrating this river with a special […]
