Oregon's 20 greatest river trips (repost)
In this 2022 episode, host Zach Urness and three river experts pick the 20 best river trips in the state for whitewater thrills and overnight camping adventures. The group talks about what makes rivers such as the Rogue, Deschutes and Clackamas so incredible and detail how to make the trips happen during the summer months. They also highlight lesser-known floats such as the Illinois, Molalla and North Fork Smith rivers. The experts in this podcast include Zach Collier, owner of Northwest Rafting Company; Jacob Cruser, co-author of "Paddling Pacific Northwest Whitewater" and author of the blog Into the Outside; and Jared Linkhart, a longtime rafter and river sage to boaters learning to get their family on the water.
