GadlingTV's Travel Talk - White Water Rafting on the Tuolumne!
Suit up, strap in, and get ready for this week's Travel Talk! We're going white water rafting down California's mighty Tuolumne River on an action packed 2-day adventure. We'll show you what it takes to navigate Class IV+ rapids and teach you all of the vocabulary that you'll need in order to stay dry.
In this episode's couch talk, we'll delve into a little bit of the history behind America's National Park System; what the first established park was, what the most frequently visited park is, and what terms the NPS uses to classify our many protected lands.

The Deschuttes River in Oregon is also a great adventure. There are guided tours for the whole family! Sun Country Tours is a great place to start searching.

My favorite TT episode so far! I've been to all but a few Nat'l Parks in the West/SW region and Yosemite is by far my absolute favorite. I love the footage on the rapids-- can't wait for pt. 2!

I canoed this river in1976, before any ORGANIZED & Safe WW Rafting. A twenty two year old from Queens, It scared the SH*T outta me, One cedar strip canoe and a Grumman aluminum. Did I mention mid '70's? Three cousin's from Hughson, Ca.
and me. All inexperienced, ill equipped and full of confidence. I'm more than sure there was a hand that guided us and most likely touched us on our shoulders.
