As our 2020 rafting season draws to a close, the weather cools down, the river levels drop, and the guides prepare to put the rafting gear into winter storage. While we miss spending our days exploring Wrangell-St. Elias National Park by the water, we spend this time reminiscing on our favorite trips of the summer. Here’s a short photo collage of our favorite summer memories! We’d like to extend a big thank you to all who joined us for a trip this year, and we’re already planning next summer’s adventures!
