Itinerary:

Whitewater rafting is a popular outdoor activity for several reasons including the thrill of navigating challenging rapids, the physical challenge of paddling, the opportunity to be on a beautiful river with gorgeous surroundings and connecting with nature while bonding with friends.

There is no experience needed as there will be a raft guide with us.

You WILL get wet (half the fun is getting wet and midway down the river we can get out and swim as well!).

So you will need extra clothing and shoes.

No experience needed (as I said there is a guide and my children have been rafting with me since they were three years old).

Just bring a good attitude and some joy!

We need to arrive about THIRTY MINUTES before the event.

YOU MUST GET YOUR RESERVATION BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR THIS HIKE. I have already sent an email noting that I will send the names of our group so as to get into two rafts.

You have to sign up with ROLLING THUNDER.

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $64.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
