East Carson Whitewater Rafting Trips

California Whitewater Rafting Trips on the East Carson

The Carson, a recent addition to the National Wild and Scenic river system, is a unique fast paced, high elevation river (5500') with beautiful views of the snow capped eastern Sierras in the Toiyabe National Forest. The twenty-one mile wilderness trip can be enjoyed on a one or two day trip, but camping out under the giant Ponderosa pines, breathing clean mountain air and relaxing in a soothing hot spring makes an ideal wilderness camp-out, especially for first timers, families and laid back rafters.

The lower half of the run transitions into high Nevada desert with giant cottonwoods, gaggles of geese and goslings, and flocks of swallows nesting in their mud homes constructed on the underside of volcanic rock formations.

In 1978, a couple of school teachers in the Sacramento, California area, produced an idea for creating a rafting program for at-risk high school students. The first few trips proved so successful that the two partners opened their doors to the general, local population. From that day, W.E.T. River Trips was born.
