11 Things You Should Bring on a River Trip

Friendly Guides - Simple Style - Outstanding Company

Join us for an unforgettable whitewater rafting trip on one of the great rivers of the west. You will enjoy our informal style, love our spirited guides and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of life on the river.

We offer guided river trips of 1 to 12 days in length on 14 different rivers in California, Oregon, Idaho and Utah. We have been in business for over 40 years and we offer a wide range of trip options for all experience levels. We are a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving wild rivers and canyons; no owners, no investors, no shareholders. 100% of our surplus trip revenues are donated to environmental groups working to protect the places we love.

We also offer group trips, team-building outings, guide training and a variety of special interest trips.

All of our trips are led by experienced, entertaining, interesting and friendly guides. They are known and loved for their exuberance, intellect, skill and welcoming demeanors. The guests on our trips talk more about their guides than about the food, the scenery or the rapids, (and our food is good!)

Rafting with us is like rafting with old friends. We look forward to having you join us!

"Thank you for the best trip we could ever have.
Your guides made us all feel like we were part of the family."

Denis Haire, Green Lodore

“Keep up the good work of educating people about the health & care of our precious rivers. Its groups like yours that help keep the world real & sane. Thanks!!!!!"
