Methow-Wenatchee TWO DAY River Rafting Trip - Too much FUN for just one day!

Methow - Wenatchee TWO DAY River Rafting Trip

Double the FUN with TWO days of rafting!

After an action packed day of rafting on the Methow River, you can relax at the rivers edge at the Lightning Pine Resort, which features shower facilities, volleyball, and an archery range, along with full RV hook-ups. The next morning, after a delicious breakfast, we will take a short drive to the Wenatchee River, and tackle the largest waves in the state! This is a great 2 day adventure, including four meals and tents (if needed).

IMPORTANT: Be sure to have a good breakfast before meeting us on the first morning.

Class 3 to 4

River Classifications
River classification means the degree of difficulty of rafting the river. The higher the rating, the more obstacles (such as rocks and trees) are in the river. It does not mean the higher the waves. The Wenatchee and the Methow rivers are only class 3 but have the tallest rapids in the state.

What to Bring:

Be sure everyone in your group brings these items, even if you think the weather is going to be warm! The Methow River is at the base of the North Cascades Mountains, and weather conditions change rapidly.

• Swimsuit or shorts (to be worn under wetsuit)
• Wool hat, sweater, and socks
• Light rain jacket or wind breaker
• Sunscreen
• Change of clothes (to be left in your car for after the trip)
  

Note: Please do not wear any cotton clothing (sweatshirts, jeans, etc.) on the river. Unlike wool and polypropylene, cotton will not keep you warm when it gets wet.

Additional Gear Suggested For 2-Day Trips:

• Long Sleeve Shirt
• Sunglasses
