Alpine Adventures Returns to Green River Gorge for Thrilling Rafting Expedition.
Excitement is building as Alpine Adventures, the renowned whitewater rafting company, announces its much-anticipated return to the Green River Gorge on May 4-5th, 2024. This marks a significant comeback for Alpine Adventures, as it has been five years since the company last operated rafting trips on the stunning and challenging Green River.
The Green River Gorge holds a special place in the hearts of adventure seekers, and Alpine Adventures has been the sole commercial whitewater outfitter on the river for the past 15 years. The unique aspect of the Green River is its unpredictable water levels, primarily controlled by a dam that holds water for the City of Tacoma’s drinking supply. Fortunately, the first weekend in May is historically reliable for optimal rafting conditions.
Located a mere 45 minutes from downtown Seattle, the Green River promises a quintessential Pacific Northwest adventure. The river’s vivid green hues, moss-covered trees, and lush vegetation create an immersive and breathtaking backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
Guests are set to rendezvous at Flaming Geyser State Park, where the rafts will launch into the river at Kanaskat-Palmer State Park. Over the course of 13 miles, participants will navigate thrilling class 3-4 rapids with names like the Nozzle, Mercury, Let’s Make a Deal, and Paradise Ledge. The journey winds through a narrow, moss-covered canyon adorned with countless waterfalls, providing an awe-inspiring spectacle at every turn.
Given the length of the trip, participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Midway through the adventure, the rafts will pause at a picturesque spot, allowing guests to enjoy their meals and even explore behind a waterfall—an opportunity that adds a unique touch to this already exceptional experience.
Space for this extraordinary trip is limited, and given the popularity of previous expeditions, it is expected to sell out quickly. Those eager to partake in this thrilling return of Alpine Adventures to the Green River Gorge are encouraged to secure their spots promptly. Don’t miss the chance to be a part of this unique and unforgettable whitewater rafting adventure in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
