Combining the Main Tuolumne and Cherry Creek gives rafters a chance to experience the wilderness and beauty of the National Wild and Scenic Tuolumne Canyon, and enjoy some of the finest whitewater in the country.
Option 1: Crescendo
Warm up on the Tuolumne and end with a bang on Cherry Creek.
Option 2: Downstream Extreme
Start with the ultimate challenge on Cherry Creek, then celebrate on the Tuolumne.

"I raft a couple times a year on the east coast, and this was by far the greatest rafting experience. Everyone was awesome. Even the food was delicious. The staff cooked us such tasty meals while we played on the beach of the Toulumne River. Highly recommend this trip and I can't wait to do it again."
