Road Trippin

The staff just arrived back in camp from an exciting day trip to the Trinity River, and oh what an adventure it was. The five hour car ride left us antsy and ready to conquor the Class IV and V rapids, and before we knew it, we were on our way down the Burnt Ranch Gorge section of the river. It was a day of new oppertunities and excitement for all of those who attended, I even got the opportunity to swim a Class V rapid! I'll check that one off of the life's list!

95 degrees today and 104 on Saturday... you know what that means? Well I'll tell you, it's going to be hot! And hot weather means it's time for rafting, so grab your swim trunks and bring a great attitude... let's go rafting!!!

Summer heat meets the American River

Summer is heating up, but thankfully we've got the American River to keep us cool. We were all thankful for the lower run of the South Fork today as we were guided down by guides Chris and Nicole. No one hesitated to slide in the water in between rapids for a relaxing swim. I'd say that it was a perfect day to be on the river! What could be better than sunshine and nice cold refreshing water?

What do river guides do on off days

Staff took off for a road trip. Burnt Ranch Gorge was awesome. I believe the whole staff had a great time. All came back with a renewed zest for having fun on rivers and are really looking to all who come up to raft the South Fork and Middle Fork of the American. Call of book on line today

We had a great run down the Middle Fork of the American River today! The rapid Ruck-a-Chucky gave us quite a run for our money as we created even more excitement to the already exciting 22 foot drop. The Whitewater Connection Staff were entertaining as usual, and the sun even decided to pop out from behind the incessant cloud cover to brighten our day up! The sunshine was much appreciated as always.

Whitewater Connections Excitement!

Yesterday was my first time rafting down the Middle Fork of the American River, and despite the cloudy weather, I had so much fun! Our guide, "Ram" Joe made us laugh the whole way down the river, and successfully guided us through some spicy class four rapids. Our whole Whitwater Connections experience has been a good one, from the moment we called, to driving back to the meeting spot. Thanks again Whitewater Connections!

South Fork American River Run with Whitewater Connections

Today was awesome! My mom and I went rafting down the lower section of the South Fork American River with the Whitewater connections guide Alanna, and had one heck of a time. It was exciting and fun, and there was never a dull moment. Not to mention that lunch was great! I highly recommend rafting with Whitewater Connections!
