After being outfitted with wetsuits, splash jackets, neoprene booties, helmets and life jackets, guests will be driven to the put-in, where they will receive a safety talk and paddling instruction.
From there on its all fun! The first stretch is non-stop class III whitewater, with the rapids in quick succession, climaxing in the thunderous (and optional!) Husum Falls, one of the tallest commercially rafted waterfalls in the nation at 13 feet. Finally the guests will get to relax a bit and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lush forested river canyon, and marvel at the restoration of habitat on the river after the removal of Condit Dam, one of the largest dam removal projects in history.
