This drive will take us up over Mt. Hood on our way to Maupin. There we will enjoy the better part of the day whitewater rafting trip down the Lower Deschutes River. Gear is provided by River Drifters. The total length of the drift is 10 miles and includes some 2, 3 and 3+ rapids and a riverside barbecue lunch.
This is a follow-up to our very popular two-day drive/rafting of last summer, but this time we’ve condensed it down to one day!
Following the completion of our rafting, we will head north to The Dalles and then back home down the Gorge to Portland.
