Mile for mile, no river in the U.S. has rapids and scenery like the Forks. Our trip begins in the Golden Trout Wilderness and proceeds down a remote, steep canyon with few access points. It is a classic whitewater run worthy of its world wide reputation. Trip size is limited to 15 adults. Check our Schedule page for trip dates and rates. Three day trips $798 - $998.
  Thunder Run
 

When water conditions are ideal, groups with prior experience can book a Thunder Run on the Upper Kern. This challenging stretch of river is famous for fast water and extreme drops. The Thunder Run is not for first timers or youngsters. If you have a group interested in rafting this section, call our office and we will help you select an appropriate trip date. The cost is $225 per person.
