Flowing through a magnificent high desert canyon, you will be awe
struck by basalt walls reaching two hundred feet, nearly straight
up from the rivers edge. Deep canyon rim-to-rim views that seem
stretch on for an eternity. Cascading creeks falling to their destiny
to become part of the powerful river. Towering Pine trees reaching
for the sky as they have for generations. These are just some of
the many postcard setting views you will be treated to on your journey
into the past on the Klickitat River. Don't forget a camera!
If all of that wasn't enough, there is the white water. While most
rivers have a name for each class III and above rapid, there is
no sense in trying to name all of the exciting action on the Klickitat.
Filled with class III+ and a few class IV rapids, they just keep
coming and coming. Rapids per mile, this may be the best deal in
the state. Perfect for beginners because it never gets to wild,
and loved by veteran rafters for the endless action. This is the
river for you.
This is a very special river for me, in that it was my first commercial
run at age 15 as I rowed a drift boat carrying the river gear for
a group of fisherman searching the upper reaches for Steelhead in
1979. Each time I raft this river, I remember 1979's softness of
the summer evening colors, the roar of the churning white water,
and the $15 a day for sun up to sun down work…. I loved it!
Day trips include a serious amount of snacking, (some healthy -
some not so healthy) to hold you over until the next meal.
As with all of our trips, sales tax, state river fees, wet suites,
transportation from out headquarters / retail center, and all equipment
are included into the stated price.
