Truckee River WhiteWater Rafting (Lake Tahoe)
Our (we were 40 people) first time rafting of category 3+ was quite pleasant and awesome. Few people slipped in water but luckily none of us (in our boat) had any accident. Half (3 out of 6) of us didn't know swimming. One of them really enjoyed it while rest of us paddled hard to keep him (and of course ourself) safe!!This video has been created by combining all the still snaps taken by professionals.
