Rafts often dump on the second step. The lucky ones fight the pouring current, right themselves, and slip down. As each raft spins safely beyond the thundering whitewater, the onshore cheering section yips and hollers approval. Come evening, a camp on a wide beach on the left bank proves the perfect spot for laying out sleeping bags, talking over the day's excitement, and stargazing quietly after the campfire burns down. Once camp is set up and the gourmet hors d'oeuvres have been sampled, a climb up into the woods and rocks is a great way to pass the hour until dinner.
Most rafting companies feature excellent food at every meal.
Baked salmon is a favorite for the first night out, while grilled steaks or lasagna might be served the next night, with perhaps a homemade cake for desert. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved. Privacy policy .
