Itinerary

Day 1
We begin our adventure on the Wenatchee River, where we tackle the largest waves in the state! The meeting place for our Wenatchee River trips is Riverside Park in the city of Cashmere, WA. Here we'll have a light snack for you and all of your gear (life jackets, paddles, wetsuits, booties). After getting suited up, we will shuttle you to our put-in in Leavenworth where the fun begins. Here your guides will go over some safety tips for the river and teach you how to paddle. The river trip itself is 3+ hours of fun rapids and huge waves, with some calm water in between to catch your breath. When you get off the river, you can dry off and change into warm clothes as we start up the grill and prepare your Tip Sirloin Steak BBQ complete with corn on the cob, potato salad, french bread and lemonade. Since you'll be off the river in the early afternoon, you will have the rest of the evening to explore the surrounding areas. Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Lake Chelan, and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge are all great places to check out. End the day at Lightning Pine RV Park, where you'll have campsites right along the Methow River. Lightning Pine RV Park offers full restroom facilities including showers and a variety of outdoor activities.
Day 2
Day two will begin with your guides arriving at your campsite around 9:00am to cook up a hearty breakfast. Then, we will take on the Methow River, which is one of the more exciting runs in the state! Because you already had practice paddling the day before, you'll be ready to hit the huge waves and boat eating holes that make this river famous. After spending 3 thrill riding hours on the river, once again your guide will fix up a delicious meal featuring our Famous Porkchop Feast.  Now it's time to wrap it up and you can complete the Cascade Loop Highway or head wherever your destination may be.
