On Saturday afternoon, those who want to join the river rafting adventure will have a chance to navigate the “Gorge Run,” which is a dynamic segment of the American River. This expedition begins with about an hour of mellow Class 2 rapids, which is an excellent initiation for neophytes – an opportunity to gradually get accustomed to the experience.

Our adventure then continues on granite-walled “Gorge,” where guests will experience the thrill of continuous Class 3 rapids, including Satan’s Cesspool and Hospital Bar, while guided by skilled rafting guides. On this 4-hour journey prepare to get wet, wild and laugh a lot!

Cost: $600
