GVWN White Water Rafting
July 21 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
$75.00
Join us on a whitewater adventure as we raft the Upper Taylor River! The Taylor River is a scenic, narrow river that meanders through the Taylor Canyon. We will be traveling through areas where the canyon walls rise straight up from the river banks and often there are bighorn sheep sightings along the river. If you are lucky, we may even see elk, deer, an occasional black bear or moose. We’ll be meeting at Three Rivers Resort between 8:15-8:30, the van leaves for the put-in at 9:00. The rafting portion of the trip will last approximately 2+/- hours. Afterwards we can gather for lunch on the outside deck at the Three Rivers Smokehouse.
