About

A great run for groups of 4 or more. This trip is becoming one of our most popular full day trips. Features lots of class I & II rapids with great mountain and wilderness scenery along the way. Trip departs from our Buchanan riverfront location and requires a shuttle back to our store from the Alpine boat landing. This is one of the best sections of the Upper James River Water Trail. A very popular trip for summer camps, scout and group customers. This trip is a step up in difficulty from our Horseshoe Bend to Buchanan float. This trip has a mandatory 3:30 PM trip ending time for the return shuttle.
