Cycle Washington and Raft the White Salmon River – A short shuttle carries you across the Columbia River (no bikes allowed on the bridge) north to Washington’s quiet roads. Ride past open fields with views extending to massive Mount Adams, the dormant volcano not far from Mount Saint Helens. Pass through a wildlife refuge that provides habitat for a variety of waterfowl, birds of prey, and other wildlife. Ride lightly traveled roads that sweep through farmland and a coniferous forest. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the banks of the glacier-fed White Salmon River, one of the first to be designated a Wild & Scenic River. This afternoon, see the countryside from another perspective during an exhilarating raft trip conducted by professional river guides. The White Salmon provides a safe and enjoyable introduction to rafting, while still affording a level of excitement. The river alternates between short stretches of Class III and IV rapids and longer sections of flat water. Seasoned guides are at the helm of each raft to ensure safety and fun for all participants. Following your trip on the river, the group will head back to Hood River for sustenance and libations at a local favorite brewery.
