White Water Rafting

Whitewater rafting is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can book through Mt. Hood Outfitters!



Beginner-friendly



Raft Guide Included



Half Day or Full Day

OVERVIEW

The Deschutes River in Maupin, the White Salmon River in White Salmon WA, or the Clackamas River in Estacada. All are equidistant and take about an hour from Government Camp.

Each river is class III and are equally fun and suitable for beginners. You will need to provide your own transportation to whichever river you choose, but any shuttling along the river is provided by the Raft Guide, and you will be dropped off at the end of the trip at your own vehicle.

Hiking Tour Options

Mirror Lake

Explore this 4.2-mile loop trail near Government Camp, Oregon. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 55 min to complete.

INCLUDED

Expertly Guided 2 Hour Snowshoe Tour, Snowshoes & Poles for each participant



  • 2 Hour Watercraft Tours


  • Snowshoes & Poles for each participant



  • ALL DRIVERS MUST CARRY A VALID DRIVERS LICENCE WHILE ON THE TRAILS. The Forest Service patrols the trails just like the highways.


  • Tour reservations must be made and accompanied by an adult with a valid driver's license that is over 21 years old.


  • The driver of each snowmobile must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver’s license and weigh at least 100 lbs. Minors are not allowed to drive.


  • In order to have a passenger on board drivers must be at least 18 years old.


  • Passengers must be at least 8 years old 48" in height. NO EXCEPTIONS!


  • Recommended weight limit on a double seat machine is 350 lbs. and drivers will need to weigh more than the passenger. If there is too much weight on the machines, the shocks will be absorbed and it will be very bumpy and uncomfortable for the person riding on the back. It can also cause additional wear and damage to the machines.

GUEST PACKING LIST

  • A pair of quick-drying shorts and a t-shirt (wool or synthetic are best. Do NOT wear cotton), or a bathing suit to wear under a wetsuit.
  • Long-sleeved synthetic shirt or fleece (NO cotton) for extra warmth when outdoor temperatures are colder than 80°F.
  • Waterproof sunscreen and ChapStick
  • Hat for sun protection
  • Old pair of tennis shoes, neoprene booties with soles or sandals (closed-toed, such as Keen, are recommended)
  • Sunglasses and/or prescription eyeglasses or contacts

  • Change of clothes for drive home.

OPTIONAL ITEMS

  • Bike gloves to protect hands while paddling
  • Waterproof camera
  • Small daypack
  • Personal snacks
  • Personal medications
  • Personal water bottle

what to wear

You will want to dress for a day on the snow, just like you were going skiing or snowboarding. We recommend water resistant/waterproof coat, pant, boots, and gloves. If you do not have the proper gear, we do have limited supplies of boots and outerwear items at our shop. We do not rent gloves but we have gloves for sale.

We provide helmets for all trips. If you have your own helmet that you prefer to wear, it must be one that is approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT). You cannot wear a ski or bike helmet while snowmobiling.

Credit Card Security Deposit



No charges will be seen on your card unless you cause damage to the machine.  Prior to departure and upon return, you will inspect the machines just like you would a car rental.  You will be responsible for any and all damages to the machines while they are in your care.  Other charges may also include late fees, recovery fees, and revenue lost from existing bookings, which are impacted due to a machine being down for repairs.



Gratuity



Otherwise, gratuity is not included in the price of the trip.  It is never expected, but always appreciated by your guide. 



Reservations and Cancellations



Cancellations are strictly held and reservations are guaranteed with a Credit Card Deposit or Payment in Full. All Mt. Hood Outfitter’s activities are conducted regardless of weather conditions, except in extreme circumstances. If Mt Hood Outfitters have to cancel for any reason, you will receive a full refund. Do not be late for your reservation or your booking may be forfeited.

Cancellation within 24 hours of your reservation and “no shows” for any reason, will result in a full forfeiture of the tour or rental cost.

Cancellation or a decrease in the number of participants between 24 and 48 hours of your reservation will result in a forfeiture of 75% of the tour or rental cost.

Cancellation or a decrease in the number of participants between 48 and 72 hours of your reservation will result in a forfeiture of 50% of the tour or rental cost.

Cancellations prior to 72 hours of your reservation will be fully refunded.

Cancellations will be charged to a credit card. Renters are solely responsible for any equipment that is damaged or left unattended. To make changes to your reservation please call 503-715-2175.
