UPPER KLAMATH- WARDS “KIKACEKI” CANYON – CLASS 4- HALF DAY RAFTING ADVENTURE
As of August 1st, our newly uncovered Wards “Kikaceki” Canyon will be a half day trip jam packed full of class 3 and 4+ whitewater. This is a really special area as it has been underwater since the early 1900’s. There is a lot of history in this area as it was sacred land to the Shasta tribe as this was their homeland. You will start your trip out in the old COPCO reservoir footprint in calm waters. Here you will get to know the area, the raft, your guide and their commands, safety, and what is ahead. Entering the canyon is very spectacular; the views, geology, the rapids and the pace are world class. Enjoying this special place is a top priority and we will try and slow things down a bit to look around and marvel. This is a 3 mile stretch that is nonstop big whitewater for guaranteed splashed to the face and all day smiles!
