Estd. 2020
How it started
GoRafting.com was established in 2020. Three of us were working for Kern River Outfitters and realized there wasn’t a comprehensive resource outlining the rapids and access points for the Kern – so we built one. That experience was a lot of fun, so we did it again for the Middle Fork of the Salmon. And then again for the Grand Canyon. Today, GoRafting.com has grown much larger than we ever imagined and we’re still having fun with it.
