Join Northwest River Guides in celebrating Independence Day weekend 2009. We’re paddling THE classic desert river in Oregon  – The Deschutes!  Spend three days and two nights in this wild and scenic high desert environment!

Let us show you the fantastic whitewater and unique adventures that dot this Central Oregon river.  Our trip starts at Warm Springs and takes us downstream to Maupin. This stretch includes 50+ miles of exciting class I – III rapids. We’ll be traveling in rafts, inflatable kayaks and hardshell kayaks. We can accommodate any experience level on this great river.  This section of the Deschutes is filled with great rapids like Box Car, Wapinitia, White Horse, Bucksin Mary and Oak Springs, just to name a few.

NRG Instructors will provide top-notch instruction throughout this trip.  The warm waters and sunny skies of the Deschutes Canyon are fantastic for learning new skills and enjoying the occasional flip.
