This was my first time white water rafting and loved it! My buddy and I went down to Gatlinburg for a mini trip and this was the spotlight of our trip. We did the higher river journey, which I was informed was extra intermediate (class three-4 rapids)- there were loads of rapids and they aren’t lying after they say you WILL get wet. My one advice would be to carry or borrow water shoes and to plan on getting soaked. Our guide additionally allow us to get out of the boat to swim once we were in a calm space, so I used to be definitely wishing I had water sneakers (which I later realized they have available at the front desk).
Earlier than lunch we go the intricately dovetailed log buildings of an abandoned pioneer ranch. Prepare to have your breath taken away as we enter the iconic Farwell Canyon, with its towering hoodoos and beautiful sand dunes, the biggest in BC. Farwell was the site of a Chilcotin village and is the location of an annual First Nations salmon fishery. Pictographs are still seen on the rocks. The outdated, faint rock paintings are still preserved within the dry, desert-like local weather. There are pictures of salmon, bighorn sheep and deer – others take just a little extra creativity to establish.
