Skagit River Rafting*

Join us for a float on the Upper Skagit. This river is extraordinarily special, with a rich archaeological and historical past that gives it a near mystical feeling; the area was once home to the first human residents of the corridor, the Upper Skagit Tribe. People new to whitewater will be given instruction on safety, prevention, and rescue procedures, followed by a nice nine-mile trip through one of North America’s most gorgeous rivers. Pack a lunch to enjoy before the float and bring card or cash for dinner afterwards.
