Rogue River Instructional Trips – Sept. 2-5, 2010

Dan — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:00:23 +0000

Four days of wilderness splendor with Current Adventures . Scenery, whitewater rapids, wild camps and delicious food. Our experienced kayak instructors and raft guides have been sharing this Wild and Scenic Rogue River Canyon with paddlers for 15 years or more! Rainey Falls, and the fish ladder, Black Bar and Blossom Bar, wild Salmon jumping in the river, and green water boiling into a froth in Mule Creek Canyon and Coffee Pot, these are just a few of the fabulous memories you’ll bring back from this “must do” kayak trip. We have full raft support and experienced kayak instructor/guides along on these trips to make it the very best experience for everyone. Bring family or friends on the rafts and share the spirit of this wilderness river while you surf and explore from the seat of your kayak, fulfilling your dreams and fantasies and planning for rivers yet to paddle. This is the classic river for your first multi-day river trip, and sets the stage for future excursions to other wild places like the Grand Canyon and Utah’s Green River.

Prerequisites: Kayakers- Class 3 paddling with a solid river roll, Rafters – good fitness for wilderness trip

Experience Elkhorn Slough – Saturday, July 31

Dan — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:50:51 +0000

Join our experienced guides for a paddling experience you won’t forget. Paddlers on this trip frequently spot sea otters and harbor seals. Pelicans are only one of over 200 species of birds that live in or pass through Elkhorn Slough. This is an incredible outing for families, and folks of all ages and skill levels. In fact Elkhorn Slough is a perfect spot for beginning paddlers to learn and explore. We use very stable kayaks and limit the number of paddlers on each outing. Keeping paddling groups small reduces our impact on the resources and residents of the area. It also gives you the opportunity for lots of direct interaction with your instructor/guide. The instructor for this trip has over 20 years experience teaching and exploring on Elkhorn Slough!

Kayak and all necessary paddling equipment are provided and included in the cost of this trip.

“Thanks to you, John, not only for the three days of kayak instruction you led for Conner and Dustin, but also for your inspirational attitude.
