Why would anyone go river rafting?
River rafting offers an opportunity to see nature from a new point of view.  You enjoy scenery a the pace of the river current, whether on flat water, through gentle riffles or in whitewater.  The flora and fauna that you see will vary wildly depending on the ecosystem and area of the river you float.  For example, in Oregon alone you can raft rivers flowing down in conditions ranging from semi desert to deep forest.
