Oregon Rafting:  The Whitewater Gourmet

Generally, one does not equate whitewater rafting trips with excellent food. The fun of riding the rapids takes precedence over culinary taste treats. Typically, a rafting lunch consists of balancing a sandwich, bag of chips, and store-bought cookies on your lap as you teeter precariously on an uneven rock. And, more often than not, some of that lunch ends up as ant food on the sandy shoreline.

One Oregon whitewater rafting company has been quietly working over the last decade to change the way their customer's eat while on the river. To do that, the company began by buying fruits and produce in season-from local farmers. The thought was that local farmers are wonderful resources. By dealing directly with these farmers, the company came into personal contact with the people who actually grew the foods their clients consumed. Clients started noticing a marked difference in the freshness and uniqueness of the food. Vine-ripened tomatoes, freshly-picked blueberries, juice-dripping peaches, were all often picked by local farmers just a day or two before clients enjoyed them riverside.

“It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” 

-- Wild and Scenic Rivers Act

American attitudes toward wilderness underwent an important change over the course of the twentieth century. In the 1930s and 1940s, Aldo Leopold, Robert Marshall, and other well-known conservationists began to argue that not only were undeveloped areas of high ecological value, they were also of high social value since they provided an outlet for increasingly urbanized populations to renew their relationship with nature.

Hiking Oregon’s Rogue River Trail
          The Trail Less Traveled

Imagine a guided hiking trip through one of the most biologically diverse mountain ranges in the United States. Scientists have discovered that only the Great Smokey Mountains rival the Siskiyou Mountains in plant diversity. The old and complex geology, the global position and transverse orientation of the Siskiyou Mountain Range, which connects the Northwest’s Cascade and Coast Ranges, are responsible for creating myriad species. .
