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

Customer Reviews

  •   We surprised Mark and his team, showing up with two boats worth of people, on a day they weren't expecting to paddle. We dropped the ball on scheduling for our... read more staff and major investors, and did not want to turn around and drive home without the highlight of our trip. In less than 5 minutes, we were getting kitted out and they were prepping boats. Staff chose to forgo their personal float and take us down the river instead. It was incredibly generous and kind...and it continued throughout the day! ZOO Rafts went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was a ton of fun. Folks created once-in-a-lifetime memories and gained an appreciation for the unique ecology, landscape, and human community of the White Salmon River. While it was a little grey and chilly out, the river was beautiful and our spirits were high! One boat decided to tackle Husum Falls - exciting for everyone and we made it unscathed. What a great trip! THANK YOU Zoller's!

  •   We took our daughter and two grandsons (10 & 12) rafting on the Middle White Salmon River. So… much… fun…. Sean, our guide, did a great job. My... read more husband went overboard not too long into the trip and Sean got him back into the board while keeping the rest of us safe. I did my stretch goal of jumping from a rock into the very, very cold water. Zoller’s took some fun photos which will be treasured for years to come. Would definitely recommend them.
