Summer is finally here. The rafting in Ohiopyle State Park has been unbelievable all spring - great water levels, not to cold. But now, the water is 3 feet on the gauge and the temperture is in the 90's. The first wave in Entrance rapid will definately get you going!

Several years ago, my husband & I had the opportunity to go horseback riding through the rainforest in Puerto Rico. Guess what? It rained...no check that... it poured. We ended up soaked.  To this day, we laugh at the memory of the time that we got "rained on" in the rainforest.

Pennsylvania rafting is somewhat similar. You never know what is going to happen on any given day. Because we are in the mountains, our weather is unpredictable and we experience the full range of the seasons and all mother nature has to offer.
I was recently speaking with one of our guests who took one of our rafting guided trips on a cold, spring day. When I asked her if she had a good time, she replied, (I'm paraphrasing) that anyone could go rafting on an 80 degree summer day, but to wake up in the morning and see it snowing and still go rafting...That was an adventure.

How true. You only live once so you need to capture adventure where and when you can find it.  And just like my horseback riding experience through the rainforest, family rafting trips in the cold and rain create those lasting memories that bring a smile to your face when someone says, "Remember that time when..."
