Looking for ideas for semi-adventure trip
Posted on 7/27/15 at 7:40 am
Posted on 7/27/15 at 7:40 am
Want to go on some sort of trip with sons next summer (23 and 18).
Not looking for something extreme, but at least outdoors oriented. Camping, hiking, rafting, kayaking, fishing, etc.
I've thought of a lot on my own, but I am looking for more ideas and perhaps specific things people have done.

Float trip the Buffalo River

Budget and how far/much willing to travel?
My bachelor trip was a week stay at a ranch in Montana. We got to choose to do as much or as little as we wanted. We ended up fly fishing Yellowstone River, mountain biking, zip lining, rented Jeeps and climbed huge mountain above tree line, horseback riding through wilderness, etc.

Whitewater Rafting
NOC
Did this two years ago and wont do it again. The night before our rafting trip a 4-5 inch rain fell in the area, and the river was flowing real high. Instead of class 2 rapids they were class 4.
Our raft guide was a "daredevil" and took everything head on. I seriously thought I was going to die.

My brother just got back from a canoe trip with his son and scout troop. They went to the Boundary Waters wilderness in northern Minnesota. It's a bunch of interconnected lakes mostly though a few short portages are needed. There are camp sites on the lakes but other than that it is wilderness and you can cover a lot of territory, even into Canada if you want. Moose and bear are possible though they didn't see any. Fishing is good.
Another if you have a big budget is to fly to Calgary/Edmonton/Whitehorse/Faribanks/Anchorage and rent a RV and go exploring. Flying to Whitehorse and doing the Alaska Highway would be where I'd start looking at this one.

Sounds like fun. Too bad they weren't 5's.

I did a class 4 in Costa Rica. The river was very high that day. A scary experience to say the least.

How long a trip?

If they train together for it they'll be tired of each other pre trip.

The opportunity for a true wilderness expedition experience in the U.S. is slowly disappearing. The best bet you have left is a float down the Tatshenshini-Alsek river system (which does, however, require that you start in Canada). It’s not so much the isolation that makes the standard nine-day to two-week, 140-mile (255-kilometer) trip from Yukon’s Dalton Post to Alaska’s Dry Bay so sublime as it is the scenery.
Flowing through a deep gorge, the Tatshenshini runs through lively Class III white water before slowing down for grizzly viewing. But that’s just a warm-up. When the river flows into the Alsek in British Columbia’s Tatshenshini-Alsek Park, it’s surrounded by massive glaciers, many of which calve giant chunks of ice into Lake Alsek. This lake, the largest glacier-dammed lake in North America, is the center of attraction on the river trip. (Consider taking a few extra days to hike the banks of the Tatshenshini and Walker Glacier inside the park.) Headed into Alaska, the Alsek leaves the glaciers, but chances are icebergs will be making the voyage to the sea alongside your raft.

So many badass trips on that site roger. Thanks

Probably a week to ten days.
But I think tiki tubing on the Amite is the way to go.

Hiking some of the Appalachian trail is fun. We just got back from Maine and hiking with the thru hikers was a blast. We only did about 15 miles on the AT but it was a great time.
Look up Mahoosuc Notch on YouTube. Very cools but tough mile of trail. Then you get to climb Mahoosuc arm. Which is 1800' gain in less than a mile.
