Experience The Adventure Of A Lifetime With River Rafting Trips
River Rafting Trips
If you're the type of person that enjoys an outdoor adventure,
river rafting trips are right up your alley. Until you've tried
it, you can never understand the exhilaration of shooting the
rapids one minute, while taking in some of the world's most
breathtaking scenery the next. Many rafting companies can
provide all the equipment you need, plus the benefit of a
skilled guide to navigate your family or group through an
incredible river rafting experience. From white water to smooth
sailing, river rafting trips have to be experienced to be
believed.
Difficulty Classifications of River Rafting Trips
If you're worried about the skill required for participating in
various river rafting trips, there are unique classifications
that will alert you to the level of ability required for safe
rafting. From Class I trips, which would be safe for any family,
to intensive, professional grade Class VI excursions, river
rafting trips have something to offer everyone. A basic
breakdown of the classification of rafting difficulty is as
follows:
* Class I - River rafting trips for beginners and pleasure
cruiser. Enjoy the gorgeous scenery without the tumultuous
rapids.
* Class II - If you're ready for white water, consider indulging
in Class II river rafting trips. It's still considered a basic
level, but at least you'll experience some thrilling rapids.
Class II rafting trips include wide channels of rapids that
limit the skill required to safely maneuver through them.
* Class III - Class III river rafting trips consist of
intermediate level difficulties in fighting strong
currents and
manipulating your raft through more perilous channels of rapids.
* Class IV - Once you've become comfortable with the basics and
know how to handle your raft, a Class IV river rafting trip will
provide some exciting rapids that require some skill to master.
* Class V - Class V rafting is considered an expert only level
course. If you're an avid rafter who enjoys a challenge, Class V
river rafting trips offer long stretches of treacherous rapids
and tons of excitement.
* Class VI - Strictly for hard-core, experienced rafters. Class
VI river rafting includes navigating extremely dangerous rapids
passages and requires great skill on the part of all
participants.
Great Rivers to Explore with River Rafting Trips
While there are hundreds of fantastic rivers suitable for river
rafting trips, some of the most popular destinations include:
Rogue River, Oregon - Located amidst the Cascade Mountain Range,
the beautifully scenic Rogue River makes a great location for
family river rafting trips. Consisting of Class II and Class III
rapid passages, this enchanting river provides excitement in a
safe environment.
Colorado River/Grand Canyon - The Colorado River flowing through
the Grand Canyon offers a diverse set of opportunities for river
rafting trips. From the intense class IV and V rapids of the
Upper Grand Canyon, to the more mellow rafting as the river
flows into Lake Mead, river rafting is a great way to explore
the majesty of the Grand Canyon.
