Designated
for protection under the Wild and
Scenic Rivers Act, the White Salmon is a breathtaking combination
of whitewater and scenery. Fed by natural springs flowing from the
glaciers of Mt. Adams, the White Salmon cascades through narrow,
cliff lined basalt canyons before heading out into the warm sunshine
of a forested valley. Throughout the trip, rafters are treated to
continuous class III - IV rapids that challenge even our most adventurous
guests. In between the rapids, you will have a chance to view lava
formed rock walls, float alongside the rafts in crystal clear pools,
and watch for wildlife in forests that are only accessible from
the river. This incredible trip is highlighted by a vertical plunge
over the legendary 10' high Husum Falls (dependent on water levels).
Hot News: In the second half of every
summer, when the water levels are lower, we launch all of our White
Salmon River trips from our private launch site, 2.1 miles upstream
of the standard public launch site! With our private upstream put-in,
we exclusively offer the longest stretch of class
III-IV whitewater run by any company on the river. The additional
2.1 miles of river offer more exciting rapids, more incredible canyon
scenery, and an optional cliff-jump back into the
river. This exclusive Wet Planet trip with private put-in
and private take-out simply can't be matched! This trip IS
a different trip ... See for yourself, and check out some
photos that you will only see on the 'Wet
Planet Experience on the White Salmon'.
