Spring Rafting is HERE!

Spring has finally come and we have begun running rafting trips with our guests.  The rivers are flowing very nicely now and combine the great weather and all the wildflowers, this time of year is very special.

Our first trip of the year with Whitewater Excitement was Saturday, April 12 on the Gorge Run on the South Fork with a couple of different groups.  Pat and his brother Larry (visiting from Florida) along with two friends Nick and Dylan were guided by our 14 year old guide wonder "Phil" (you can view Pat guest testimonial on the home page of our web site), the other rafts were from a group that organizes large events in the Monterey area.  Larry S. and his two rafts were guided by WWE Guides, Aaron and Karl.  Weather has almost summer like with temps in the high 80's.  Everyone had a great time and they all said they want to come back later this spring and try the Merced.

Our second run of the year was the next day on the class 4 North Fork of the American.  The group signed up for a Double Run, where we raft the 9.5 miles section, then have our riverside buffet lunch, then head out and raft the same stretch again.  A great way to get the maximum whitewater in a day.  With the hot weather, the river was rising and we had flows of about 1600 cfs, which is a really exciting and challenging flow.  Being the first trip of the year on the North Fork, our guides, Norm, Ann, Mike, and Aaron, and Nate were in fine form with not too many difficulties (well a small swim at Bogus Thunder for Nate and crew).  We even had some WWE Guides that were not working take a raft on the North Fork for fun.  See photo of Megan after running the class 4 Staircase rapid.
