Whitewater rafting on the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon

By Jack Brummet, Recreation Ed.

At our recent family reunion, a group of about fifteen of us went on a whitewater rafting trip.  We went through Class 1, several Class 2, and a long Class 2+3 rapids.  It was way more fun than I expected.  And far wetter.  Between long drops and waves, you pretty much have the river constantly pouring over you.  It helps that it was 95 degrees in Bend that day. . .
