by Mark Zoller | Mar 16, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

There she lays, head propped up slightly, feet gently sloped down, resting next to Mt. Adams who towers above like a prince coming in for the kiss.   As I drive north on Hwy 141 from my home in BZ Corner towards Trout Lake, Washington there is a stellar view...

Whitewater Rafting the White Salmon River

by Mark Zoller | Feb 28, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Family Activity, Whitewater Rafting

My mom is still angry. Angry at my dad. It all stems from a fun little adventure when I was twelve years old. Dad took the family on a three-day whitewater rafting vacation. He had a huge raft for the family, but let me navigate the class III river in a little...

Klickitat River – Salmon and Steelhead Fishing

by Mark Zoller | Feb 15, 2020 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Fishing trips, Klickitat River

Recently I read an article which claimed that we as humans get a euphoric charge out of hearing our phones go off with a text. Hmmm, could be true. However, if you want to get a true CHARGE out of a surprise message just wait until an explosive steelhead or charging...

Customer Reviews

  •   We had an excellent time on the White Salmon. It was our first time rafting the White Salmon and we had an Excellent Captain. Amanda (AJ) was awesome she was... read more funny and very knowledgeable about the trip. She explained everything as we went and told us facts about the area and geological structures of the river as well as many other things. I have rafted many times before and feel she is our favorite and great job Amanda you did awesome and thanks for making it so enjoyable!

    Also I am a stickler on safety and Zoller's provided everything you need for a carefree day. Thanks so much to all of the Team!

  •   We had such a great experience with Zoller's. We did the Middle Gorge as a family of 5 with kids ages 7, 8 and 11, plus two additional adults. None... read more of us were experienced rafters and all were a bit nervous to start. Our guide was Ben and he took great care of us. He was very clear in his directions, and we felt very safe the entire time. Our 7-year-old is on the petite side, so our biggest concern was her not falling out. He encouraged our son to try things he was hesitant to try. During the slower part of the trip, he told some great stories and gave great information. Husum Falls is an option for the trip we took (for the adults). Ben gave us honest information about how the falls had been running this time of year which allowed us to make an informed decision about whether or not to go over the falls. We opted not to, though those of our party who live locally plan to go back when water levels are lower. Awesome trip and would recommend Zoller's to anyone!

  •   Family members recommended Zollers to us for rafting the White Salmon River during our visit to Hood River, Oregon. Zollers is just a short 25 minute drive from Hood... read more River. Our guide, Kendall, was amazing! He spent a fair amount of time explaining what to expect and how to deal with popping out of the raft or the raft flipping. His efforts increased my comfort level- I started our outing feeling a bit uncomfortable, but ended up having a blast! Kendall gave us clear instructions, but also made sure we had a ball! Highly recommend Zollers- they are happy to have you, make your outing fun, provide all your gear, and take great photos of your group. Highly recommend!

  •   This is a whitewater rafting experience that will exceed your expectations in every way. Zoller's is far and away your only choice for rafting on the White Salmon, they were... read more the first and are still the best. Their riverside facilities are first class and Mark Zoller and his staff are even better. Our guide yesterday for a 7 mile trip through the Middle & Lower river was Malorie; she was calm, competent and a true professional and kept us all safe while we had an absolute blast enjoying the icy river in 100 degree heat. Go and have the time of your life!

  •   Everything about our Middle Gorge trip was perfect from start to finish! To say Zoller's runs a "well oiled machine" would be an understatement. Everything from gearing up... read more to the end up the trip was so organized, which is an amazing feat with a group of at least 70 rafters! We had a group of 8 (ages 12 to 50something), so we were split up, but our two guides made it feel like we were having the experience together. I felt confident in the guide's knowledge and ability...and they were FUN! Thank you Sean and Shane and the whole Zoller's crew for the BEST DAY EVER! We haven't laughed that hard in a long time and it is a memory of a lifetime!
