Wenatchee/Methow Overnight Trip
Check Trip Availability

Our Wenatchee/Methow overnight trips are the perfect way to get a double dose of whitewater action. These are offered on weekends throughout May and June. We meet at 9:00am on Saturday and raft on the Wenatchee River the first day. You have the remainder of the afternoon to tour the area or drive up to the Methow River and relax at Lightning Pine RV Park, which features shower facilities, volleyball, and an archery range, along with full RV hook-ups.

The next morning we cook breakfast and begin the next leg of our journey on the Methow River, a very exciting run! After the trip we serve a porkchop BBQ to finish off your day. This is a great 2 day adventure, including four meals and tents (if needed). This overnighter is the perfect way to experience the Cascade Loop! Give us a call or email us for more details.
