Trip Itinerary |
Day 1:
On the morning of your day on the river, meet for a river orientation and safety talk. Then you and your other crewmembers will board your boat at the campsite put-in and practice basic paddle strokes with your guide before setting out to raft the lower 13 miles of the river known as the "Gorge Run".
Before lunch, the river winds through rolling hills and the rapids are fun and easy - a good chance to warm up and get to know your crew and guide. Stop midday for a delicious deli-style lunch on the riverbank, and then it's off to the bigger rapids in the lower section of the Gorge run. By the end of the day, you'll have rafted some of the greatest rapids in California.
Drive back to camp where you can shower, relax, and play while your guides prepare dinner. After dinner, enjoy a hilarious slide show of each of the boats negotiating Satan's Cesspool, one of the bigger exciting rapids of the day. Then gather around a roaring campfire to end the evening in the glow of a day well spent. Day 2:
Your day at the wineries will start with a hearty breakfast in the morning followed by a chauffeured drive to some of the local award winning wineries in the area. You might even stop at the Gold Hill Olive Oil Company’s tasting room for a change of pace! Lunch will be provided as Adventure Connection guides you through one of California’s premiere undiscovered wine regions. |
