HOW IT WORKS:
Your trip will start at Riverside Park in Cashmere, located approximately 15 minutes outside of Downtown Leavenworth.
From there our guides will outfit you in proper rafting gear before loading you onto the shuttle.
Upon arrival at the launch point, you will be given a fun, brief safety orientation and instructions before navigating the river.
Once on the water, you will raft your way back down to Riverside Park, taking approximately two hours, depending on river conditions.
Prepare to get wet and have a great time!

Tieton River
September
Without a doubt, one of the most exciting whitewater trips of the year! Non-stop action, with hardly a breather, this is the fastest moving, and fastest dropping river in the state. The Tieton begins by blowing out of Rimrock dam (warmest river water in the state), just upstream from where your trip begins.
Blast through Wild Rose, High Noon, and the unforgettable Waffle Wall. Our guides love this river above all others. Great riverside camping throughout the area.
Minimum Age: 10yrs old. 2.75 hours from Seattle
HOW IT WORKS:
You will begin your adventure at our Blue Sky Camp right at the put-in for our trip.
We will distribute wetsuits, booties, life jackets, helmets, and paddles.
After everyone is suited up, the guides will give a safety talk about the things you need to be aware of on the river and in your raft.
Then, you will meet your experienced guide for the day, go over any questions you may have, do some practice paddling on dry land, and then you're off!
The Tieton is 15 miles of non-stop whitewater and river trip itself is about 3 hours long.
After you get off the water, we will shuttle you back to the meeting location.

Guide Gratuity
“We had a great ride with our very professional, expert guide! It was our first adventure with Blue Sky, and we only want more. Our guide gave perfect commands, he steered us right, and was friendly and engaging at the same time. He took the time to point out interesting sights, and really made it fun. We will return for more. Thanks Blue Sky!”
