Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

We have a designated area for our guests to park, that is on the right side of the building when you are facing it. Our guides are usually there 15-20 minutes before the meet time and will meet you out front.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

We meet in Auburn, California in the morning and depart to the put in near Colfax. The shuttles are off-road so we have top notch vans to get you there safely. Upon arrival you will see what makes this river so special, the water is emerald green and there are amazing rocks lining the banks of the river. The water is typically cold (it is snowmelt) so depending on water levels and air temperature, wet suits may be mandatory.

The rapids are close together, and action packed with big drops and large boulders in the river to avoid. The Chamberlain Falls run has many Class 4-4+ rapids and is a must do for any adventure seeker!
