Tree-Top Adventures

by Mark Zoller | Feb 3, 2021 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

Do you still like to climb high into the trees just as we did as kids? Well, one of my friends built an aerial park for people just like you and me. The idea of an aerial park was foreign to me but as Shane explained how it worked I knew it was something we had to go...
White Salmon River – How’d it get its name?

White Salmon River – How’d it get its name?

by Mark Zoller | Sep 9, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Whitewater Rafting

Corkscrew. Siwash. Waterspout. Zoller Zap. Grasshopper. Top Drop. Each great rapids of the White Salmon River and cleverly named. It was 1981 and none of the rapids had names that year dad opened up the first rafting company on the White Salmon river. Then comes a...
A Wilderness Not So Distant

A Wilderness Not So Distant

by Mark Zoller | Jun 23, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Hiking, wild flowers

Is a wilderness area to vast and far to enjoy? Is it there only for the extreme explorer? Fortunately a congressionally designated wilderness area can be either magnificently vast and extreme and sometimes easily accessible and breath-taking. Within just minutes of my...

Throwing Sharp Objects

by Mark Zoller | Jun 11, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

Genius! Take an activity that your mother would never let you do as a kid and turn it into an adventure that promotes fun, competition and personal achievement. Not to mention, it might be one of the best ways ever to rid yourself of tension. It was over a year ago...

Snow-Shoe Adventures in the Columbia River Gorge

by Mark Zoller | Mar 23, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

Just seven days ago I was out in the warm Spring sunshine doing some yard work. We even mowed the lawn. Then, it snowed! Since you can’t change the weather, you might as well embrace it and enjoy. That is exactly what I did. With a nice six inches of fresh powder on...

Wiggly Worms – Slippery Trout – Giggly Kids

by Mark Zoller | Mar 21, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Fishing trips

High lakes in Washington. Just yesterday my son, Zach, was telling me about goal setting. Maybe the best goal setting I’ve ever heard. As he guided guests on 5-day whitewater rafting trips his goal would be to make sure each of the kids on the trip caught their very...

I thought I would be scared, but our guide, Casey, was an incredible... read more teacher, funny, so informative, and an all around great guy. He made it seem effortless and totally enjoyable.

  •   First off, we were supposed to go last weekend and then the smoke rolled in and made the air quality hazardous. Mark, the owner, was so wonderful when I called... read more and you could tell he really just had our best interest and health in mind and he let us reschedule to yesterday. It was such an amazing day on the river! We took our 9 year old son as his birthday gift and it was so much fun! David was our guide and we loved him! He was so knowledgeable not only about the river but also about the formations and area that surrounded the river. It was a history lesson too! We went down the middle gorge and ended up doing the lower as a bonus and loved every minute. Thank you Mark and your staff for your wonderful operation you've got going on! We can't wait to come back and do it again!

  •   What a great trip! We were looking for a break from the smoke and hired Casey at Zoller's to take us down the river. We were a group of... read more three guys and Casey was the best guide we could have ever asked for. He was very safe and cautious but let us have all the fun we wanted. He even intentionally flipped the raft for us so I could make my buddies get wet. Best of all, Casey is a phenomenal acapella singer who writes and sings his own songs. He treated us to one on the float! Best company with the best guide. FIVE STARS and highly recommended. Thanks, Casey!!! We will definitely be back!
