9.The Noatak River, Alaska

Take the gentle, 45-mile stretch of the 220-mile river.  Designated in 1980, this trip floats from Twelve Mile Slough to Lake Matcharak.  Take in the views of the surrounding Schwatka and Endicott Mountains.  Keep an eye out for Dall sheep, grizzlies, and wolves too.

The season is from June through September.  If you go in June you’ll have a great chance of seeing the annual caribou migration.  Go in September if you’re a fan of blueberries, fall colors, or the aurora borealis.

 

10.The Tuolumne River, California

This 83-mile-long river offers plenty of action.  Try the run through the 18-mile canyon.  Book this two-or-three-day-trip from Meral’s Pool to Ward’s Ferry between May and September.

Designated in 1984, it features Class III through Class V pool-drop rapids with enough breaks to catch your breath in between them.  Take time to fish for native rainbow trout but stay ready.  There are Class IV the Nemesis and Rock Garden rapids and the Class V Clavey Falls rapids too!
