Meals on the river are always better. This nights fare? Taquito appetizers followed by fajitas with all the fixings and s’more’s for dessert. Get your group together and let’s get on the river while the weather’s still good!

Another great trip to Lassen National Park with Youth For Change, a non profit organization serving youth and their parents in the North State. We hiked Kings Creek Falls and boated on Summit Lake. We enjoyed great meals, visits by a park ranger, and lots of laughter around the camp fire. Get in touch with us, we can organize an outing for your group too!

Tomorrow we're off on a two night float down the Sacramento River. Wahooo!
