Whitewater rafting-Truckee River
My friends and I(4 women late forties) are going on a white water rafting trip with Tributary Whitewater Tours up in the Truckee area.7 mile run with 2+/3+ grade rapids. Has anybody used this company or been on this rafting trip? Opinions appreciated. Thanks,gabbyhat.

You are probably going out of the Truckee area on the American River. A work group did it last year and had a blast. It definitely was a wild ride though and judging by the photos, there were times that the participants totally disappeared under water. But everyone enjoyed it; athletes and non-athletes alike.

This might be the trip you are going on.

It's a 7 mile run. Looks like fun.
We've used Tributary on the American, both South and Middle Fork. We had some issues with the guide we had but I would probably use them again.

Thanks. It's the Little Truckee River fork. You put in at Floriston for the 7 mile run. It's not the Truckee river float that goes to Tahoe City. I was just wondering if anybody had used the company and their experiences. Thanks.

Well I looked & looked but I couldn't find the trip report someone here wrote about this trip. I do remember that it was a family of 4, seemed like the kids were boys if I remember correctly, they had a great time and she even posted links to the pics that Tributary took of them on the trip. I wish I could find the report for you because I thought it was really good and descriptive.
