Outdoor Adventure: Braving The Rapids at Cheakamus River

Outdoor Adventures | Squamish Family Rafting

One of the best recreational outdoor adventure activities on a river is white water rafting, and the best place to do this is in Cheakamus River. Found in the magnificent and Scenic Squamish Valley, it offers the best white water to raft on to, with just a short drive from Vancouver and Whistler, this could be the best river rafting adventure your family could enjoy. Rafting brings out a thrill and excitement no theme park could provide. As its name implies, it is usually done across a body of water, usually a river, with varying degree of roughness. You will then negotiate and manoeuvrer through the water current, big exposed rocks and small river bedrocks and then you will feel the wind on your face, the splash of water on your hair, your adrenalin pumping with the excitement with the ride and a satisfaction of getting from start to end of the raft trail. Immersing yourself in nature through rafting can help you become fit as well, know more about the environment and learn how to protect our rivers and mountains.

 Depending on the roughness of the water, rafting can be considered a leisure ride or an extreme sport. With the Cheakamus splash adventure, families with kids as young as 6 years old can enjoy by using a wide inflatable boat and paddle through waters with small rough areas, maybe some rocks and may only require little manoeuvring.  This is a great way for children, and adults alike, to boost their confidence joining intensity ride, reconnect with the family, experience something that is not done everyday, and interact with nature. For those who will help paddling across the river, this is a great way to exercise. It strengthens the upper body and can burn 100 to 200 calories in 30 minutes and may reach to up to 500 calories on high intensity.

Rafting is environment friendly and requires no motor to run it. It also lets you see the beautiful scenery, especially the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, including other surprises you might see along the riverbank. With the river rafting expert with you, learn more about the area and know more about the magnificence of the valley you are rafting on. By being educated how the river flows and what fauna and flora are present there, we will know how human interaction can affect the place and how we could help save it.
