Tuolumne River / Cherry Creek Combo Trips

Start your trip with 1, 2 or 3 days of rafting on the National Wild and Scenic Tuolumne River—exhilarating Class IV rapids, beautiful hikes up side canyons, remote riverside camping, and stunning scenery. The next portion of your trip is truly the "grand finale"; a day rafting the unparalleled Class V whitewater of Cherry Creek, the uppermost section of the Tuolumne River. You can......
 

The Cal Salmon ranks as one of the most difficult rivers in California. Rapids are steep, powerful, and often long. Water bounces off the narrow walls, careening downstream with intensity. In Class V Cascade rapid, you’ll blast 15’ down a tight chute of frothing whitewater. A few minutes later you’ll come face to face with one of the river’s biggest and longest challenges: b......
 

The action on this river starts immediately with a long quarter-mile stretch of technical whitewater. This rousing introduction ends in a hefty seven-foot drop called Chamberlain Falls. Continuing on, you’ll blast through powerful hydraulics and maneuver through some solid Class IV rapids. After an intense morning, we’ll break for lunch along the shoreline. You’ll be glad when th......
 

There’s no stopping once you begin a Kaweah River trip. The river rushes through boulder-choked passageways punctuated by powerful hydraulics. Some rapids are long while others are sudden and extreme. Just remaining in the raft can represent an accomplishment on this lively run! Technical and deft maneuvering is required to successfully navigate many rapids. Consider yourself a master padd......
 

The North Stanislaus’ steep gradient (70’ per mile) creates many stair-stepping drops and tumultuous twists and turns. You’ll become an expert paddler, maneuvering through the river’s speeding currents and tight chutes. And because All-Outdoors is one of the few outfitters permitted by the USFS to offer trips on the North Stanislaus, you will most likely have the river to yo......
 

Steep, technical rapids characterize the Tuolumne. The action starts immediately as you discover seemingly non-existent passageways through rock-strewn corridors like Rock Garden and Nemesis. Rapids comprised of tight chutes, tall drops and immense boulders follow until we reach the highlight of the trip�Class IV + Clavey Falls. The middle section of the river mellows, allowing time for reflec......
 

The Merced is the closest a river can come to being like an amusement park ride. Rolling waves and speedy currents characterize its rapids. There are very few rocks to avoid, just large hydraulics. Normally on 1-Day trips, we raft a 16-mile section of the upper Merced. This lively section starts off fast for the first six miles, slows down in the middle section, and speeds up again in the final......
 

The Middle Fork’s Class IV rapids are literally famous, having been featured in many motion pictures. Their cinematic reputation is well deserved–they are built of chutes and large drops that appear intimidating but are actually quite forgiving. The Middle Fork’s most well known rapid is Tunnel Chute–a steep and narrow chute of frothy whitewater that crashes over a six-foot drop and t......
 

Though the rapids have overwhelming names like "Troublemaker" and "Satan’s Cesspool", they are not too intimidating themselves. Exciting enough to get your heart pumping, they are still reasonable enough for kids as young as eight years old to enjoy. Most consist of large waves or swift bends in the river. And all of them are followed by calm pools, which makes it easy ......
