Rafting Upper Klammath River (Sunday)

Today we went white water rafting on the Upper Klammath River. We've been researching where to go rafting for awhile now. We found an awesome company called, "Noah's Rafting." The experience was fantastic. We did their most adventurous raft trip. Well worth it! We left from Ashland, OR at 8:15 this morning.  A small bus picked us up from a local grocery store.  We rode on the bus for a little over an hour before reaching the put-in point.  We drove on some windy roads!    The river has class III and IV+ rapids, as well as some I's and II's.  Our guide was fantastic, and breakfast and lunch were provided.  We had an absolute blast!  We rafted for 14 miles with two other couples and our guide. There were also two other rafts in our party.  There was a 7 mile stretch of back to back rapids called Hell's Corner.  That area held a lot of rapids and was tons of fun!  WE GOT WET!  We also had time to relax on the river in some calmer areas and enjoy nature.  We even got a chance to jump out of the raft to "swim" in the middle of a class III rapid.  Very fun!
