White Mountain CamperlandThe whoosh of air through your hair, the splash of spray in your face and the adrenaline rush of swerving  speed are the hallmarks of whitewater rafting on the rivers of America. The thrill and excitement is breathtaking.

If this type of adventure appeals to you, there are myriad routes available for fun in the west and fine RPI resorts close by to serve as home base.
Blue Mesa Ranch

In Arizona, for instance, Salt River Rafting takes you through the Sonoran Desert outside of Phoenix and the state’s “other Grand Canyon,” the Upper Salt River Canyon. It’s a spectacular scene of saguaros and sun sure to please. Visit www.raftthesalt.com to find out more.

For members visiting Arizona, White Mountain Camperland is a cool mountain retreat, 6,800 feet up and miles away from the cares of the day.

California’s American River is renowned for its rafting. American River Recreation has trips down that waterway as well as a variety of others, with packages aimed at beginners through old pros. They also specialize in family trip specials offering safe excursions for kids as young as four. Their web site is www.arrafting.com.

The Ghost Mountain Ranch, on Hwy 50 near Pollock Pines ,is not only near the American River  but also right in  the Golden State’s gold country. The resort was once  a  movie set  used by Hollywood . Most of the buildings have been preserved and the old western flair is still there.

Fort Running Bear

For a truly remarkable view of a geological wonder, try Zoller’s Outdoor Odysseys Snake River trip through Hell’s Canyon, which is North America’s deepest gorge. Outside of Boise, Idaho, you can listen to your guides relate the area’s history while examining the awesome formations. Visit www.snakeraft.com for additional info.

For your Idaho visit, Fort Running Bear in Mountain Home lies in a gorgeous wilderness area within sight of majestic mountains. A variety of wildlife might scamper by, and the fishing ain’t bad either.
