The Trinity is the first river I′ve ever run on the west coast. Wow, what a great intro to white water in Northern California, I never knew rapids like these existed here. It was one of the best times I′ve ever had on the river, my family had a grin on their faces from put-on to take-off. Our guide was great, he knew the river well and shared some of his memories from growing up in Trinity. This is definitely a plus for anyone looking for that ″extra-special″ family trip that is unforgettable. We had more fun than at Disneyland, sans the crowds and lines. It scores a whooping 10 on the fun meter. Many thanks to River′s Edge Rafting!
