Tieton River Rafting Trips - The best OVERALL whitewater trip of the year!

Tieton River Rafting Trips

Without a doubt, the best overall whitewater trip of the year! Non-stop action, with hardly a breather, this is the fastest moving, and fastest dropping river in the state. The Tieton begins by blowing out of Rimrock dam (warmest river water in the state), just upstream from where your trip begins. Rugged volcanic basalt cliffs line both sides of this mountain canyon, and the sun shines bright since you're on the dry side of the state. Blast through Wild Rose, High Noon, and the unforgettable Waffle Wall. Our guides love this river above all others. Great riverside camping throughout the area.

Tieton River Rafting Trips

You will begin your adventure at our Blue Sky Camp right at the put-in for our trip. We will have a light snack for you to enjoy while we distribute wetsuits, booties, helmets, and paddles. After everyone is suited up, the guides will give a safety talk about the things you need to be aware of on the river and in your raft. Then, you will meet your experienced guide for the day, go over any questions you may have, do some practice paddling on dryland, and then you're off!

The Tieton is 21 miles of non-stop whitewater, and is definitely an exciting journey! The river trip itself is about 3-4 hours long. After you get off the water, we will shuttle you back to the top where you can change into dry clothes while we heat up the grills. Then, enjoy the best meal on the river with our top sirloin steak bbq (and other goodies).
