Adventure Life Whitewater Rafting Trip!

by: Lynessa Nelson
Adventure Life staffers braved the rapids of the mighty Lochsa River this spring and lived to tell of it. Fifteen of us embarked on the river for an all day raft trip in the sun, rain, wind, and sleet. It was an amazing day and an experience we will not soon forget. We're already planning for next year's excursion on the river.
