When I was six years old my Dad took me on my first river rafting trip. I had no idea what to expect, but those few days on the Green River changed my life. Most of the 30 summers since then I’ve taken a river trip. A bad day on a river is better than a good day of doing something else. Whether a day trip on the Deschutes or a 14 day trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, rivers are where I feel most myself, most at peace and most happy.
