Early spring is the first of The 4 “Seasons” of the California Rafting Season. It is a magical time to be on the river as the rapids start to rumble again after a long winter. The canyons come alive with vibrant colors and blossoming wildflowers. Rafting in early spring offers a more peaceful and intimate experience on the water, with fewer people and a greater sense of wilderness.

Don’t miss these California rivers for an early spring river rafting trip:

After graduating college, he started an outdoors/action sports focused production company and is largely responsible for our video, photo, and social media content.
