Sequoia Adventures ~ Whitewater Rafting
​
The Kaweah River is the steepest river in the lower 48 United States. It drops an amazing 12,000 feet in 20 miles. In its last 10 miles just outside of Sequoia National Park the gradient lessens to just under a hundred feet per mile while still maintaining the continuous nature of its rapids. It is in this section that Sequoia Adventures conducts its Kaweah River rafting trips.
The Kaweah is a free-flowing river depending on snowfall to provide raftable flows in the spring and early summer. The normal Kaweah River rafting season lasts from mid-April to early July with peak flows late May to early June.

The dramatic landscape of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks testifies to nature's size, beauty and diversity's huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, the world's largest trees, and caves! By some accounts, Sequoia National Park could have been set aside solely to protect the amazing caves found in this area.
Come and explore the underground world of Sequoia and Kings Canyon on a crystal cave tour. Join a tour and a cave naturalist will lead you on a journey through this beautifully decorated cave of impressive chambers, magnificent formations, rare minerals, unique animals and a polished marble stream. Find your adventure!

Blossom Peak Ranch Experience
Come join us for a unique and interactive farm tour experience. Guest will have the opportunity to meet and interact with animals on our farm.
We are located in the quaint town of Three Rivers California, just a few minutes from Sequoia National Park. Take a break from a day of hiking or fishing and enjoy the peace, quiet, and lots of relaxing cuddles. Guests will be given ample time to pet, feed and interact with our friendly animals in a beautiful, scenic setting at the foot of Blossom Peak. We have many horses that we will explain care, let you brush and feed.
Feed and pet our chickens, gather an egg or two if the chickens are laying. Our goats love attention and will enjoy a little play time or just a few cuddles and treats. We even have a cow that loves a scratch behind the ears or to sit in your lap. Try your hand at roping. Occasionally, we have baby animals that might need bottle feeding or extra care. We hope you leave with lots of pictures, smiles and a love of our animals as much as we do.
