Whitewater-the term conjurs up visions of free-flowing, thundering, white-capped river excitement! Whitewater rafting is the ideal outdoor adventure for kids and adults-great for family adventures that will ensure memories of shared teamwork and comraderie for years to come. The rafting season begins in March and runs to early November. Spring whitewater trips offer the added benefit of higher water and wildflowers, and fall offers its color extravaganza.
