American River Touring Association, Inc.We are a non-profit corporation, founded in 1963, registered with the State of California and known to one and all as ARTA. Our mission is to introduce you to the wilderness and to involve you in our trips in a manner that is safe, meaningful, and beneficial to both you and the environment. Our guides are the heart of our organization. United by a passion for wild places and by a belief that a river trip should be more than a Disneyland ride, they provide exceptional service and outstanding camaraderie. They will be your porter, escort, captain, cook, guide and interpreter, but most importantly, they will be your friend. Our non-profit status and philosophy ensure that any surplus revenues generated by our trips are reinvested in the company or donated to conservation organizations and are not distributed to individuals or investors. Your participation helps protect our nation's wild rivers for future generations to enjoy. We donate our profits to the following conservation groups. We encourage you to support any organization that protects our rivers. Thank you.
We are proud to be recreation service partners with the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. We operate under Special Use Permits granted to us by the Stanislaus, Klamath, Siskiyou, Bitterroot, Salmon and Challis National Forests, the Folsom, Medford and Moab Districts of the BLM, and under a concessions contract at Dinosaur National Monument. ARTA is an equal opportunity service provider and all trips are operated on a non-discriminatory basis. THE ARTA OFFICE 600 square feet, lots of windows, pine floors, wood-burning stove. 6 miles to the Tuolumne River, 16 miles to Yosemite National Park, forest all around. Not a bad place to spend the day. There are three of us here most of the time, a few more in the summer, a few less on sunny days in the fall and winter. Robin handles the money, Isaac deals with guides and equipment, Steve does a little bit of everything. We all answer the phone and we all get excited when you call. Collectively, we’ve been on every trip we run, at every water level, at every time of year and we never get tired of talking about them. Ask us anything and we’ll give you as honest an answer as we can, (because there’s always a chance we’ll be on your trip with you). And if you are on your way to Yosemite or early for your Tuolumne trip, poke your head inside and say hi.
