Starting at Chili Bar, you will raft 11 miles to a private riverfront campsite. While the guides prepare an outrageous dinner, you will have time to fish, play volleyball or horseshoes, take a hot shower, or kick back and enjoy the delicious hors d’oeuvres. After a night of swapping stories around the campfire, continue down river through the infamous Gorge. The two-day trips may also be run in reverse (rafting the bottom half the first day). This allows you to take out around 2:30pm on day two, convenient for those who have a long drive home.
