A Middle Fork American 3-Day trip will quench your thirst for adventure while still allowing for plenty of rest and relaxation. All of your personal gear is carried by luggage rafts into remote beach camps. Your first two days are spent crashing through the Class III-IV rapids on the upper section of the Middle Fork.
After two days of exciting whitewater, you'll float past the area where everyone else must take out, and instead you'll raft into the beauty and calm of the Lower Middle Fork canyon. You can paddle an inflatable kayak or you can lounge on one of the rafts as you float to the final destination of Mammoth Bar. Taking three days to travel 27 miles through a beautiful wilderness area like the Middle Fork Canyon can energize the soul for weeks, months, or even years.
