11 Things You Should Bring on a River Trip

Whitewater Rafting with American River Touring Association

Join us for an unforgettable whitewater rafting trip on one of the great rivers of the west. 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.

Green Desolation Canyon Yampa River Green Lodore Canyon Middle Fork Salmon Main Salmon Selway River Merced River Tuolumne River South Fork American Middle Fork American Klamath River Cal-Salmon Illinois River Rogue River From family vacations on the gentle Rogue River, Main Salmon, Middle Fork Salmon and Green Rivers to wild adventures on the challenging Selway River, Illinois and Tuolumne River, we have a trip that is perfect for you. We also offer group trips, corporate team-building outings, guide training and a variety of special interest trips.

All of our trips are guided by experienced, entertaining, interesting and friendly guides. They are known and loved for their exuberance, intellect, skill and welcoming demeanors. Rafting with us is like rafting with old friends.

We are a non-profit corporation, dedicated to preserving wild rivers and canyons. Our goal is to conduct safe whitewater rafting trips which promote a sense of involvement and fulfillment, and are a great deal of fun. All surplus trip revenues are donated to environmental groups working to protect our nation's natural resources.

We look forward to having you join us!

“We were amazed with the effort, kindness, humor and consideration we were treated with from our guides and all the staff of ARTA, including the people in reservations. Thanks for a wonderful experience.”

Greatest guides in the worldFEEDBACK: We got our first 2010 trip evaluation back (from our June 8th Green Lodore trip) and it was downright gushing!. Vicki Ramsey, who was taking her first rafting trip, said: "All the guides were enthusiastic, friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable. Very impressive." Click here to read everything she had to say.
Nolan climbs out of the Tuolumne RiverTRIP REPORT: Tuolumne River, June 14 - 15: It would be easy to just say that this was the trip where Nolan fell out of his raft at Ramshead, but there was so much more. The magical night camping at Indian Creek, the great food, the epic hike up the North Fork, not to mention all the fun the that Tuolumne offers at 5,000 cfs. Click here for pictures.
Highwater on the TuolumneUPDATE: Highwater! Who would have thought? Some late spring storms streamed into the west and pushed all the rivers higher than expected. The Middle Fork Salmon peaked at 8.5 feet (we thought it had already peaked at 5.5 feet) and the Rogue swelled to a whopping 17,000 cfs (that's big). Click here for more information.
