White Water Rafting

California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com goes white water rafting in this episode of "California Travel Tips."

Led by rafting guide Deryn Peck of http://www.OARS.com , this white water river rafting trip follows the South Fork of the American River — one of the most popular runs for beginners and families.

White water rafting trips are popular in the spring (if you're looking for big surf), or in the late summer (if you're looking for gentler, warmer waters).

American River rafting is one of the most convenient whitewater river rafting trips because it's only an hour from Sacramento.

The American River is also one of the best white water rafting destinations in the nation, drawing more than 1 million visitors per year.

The American River white water rafting season runs from spring to fall, and is the perfect compliment to a California vacation.

Our OARS white water rafting class included a delicious barbecue lunch, followed by about three hours on the river.

For a whitewater river rafting vacation, OARS offers multiple-day whitewater rafting tours on several popular California rivers, including the Merced River, Tuolumne River near Yosemite and the Upper Klamath River near the Oregon border.
