Reconnect with Nature, Self, Spirit, and a Community of Adventurous, Freedom-Seeking Souls on the Lower Deschutes River
You know that song- “Life Is A Party” by Stick Figure Or “Set Sail” by The Movement? If not- totally go look those up- but that’s kind of what this trip is about: Celebration for life and good vibes immersed in the canyons of the Deschutes River, outside of Warm Springs, OR barefeet and connected to the Earth.
This trip is 4 days, 3 nights. Starting on July of deep rejuvenation for the mind, body, and spirit in the breathtaking Lower Deschutes River Canyon. This stretch of river boasts expansive sandy beaches perfect for grounding, exhilarating Class II-III+ rapids to ignite your adventurous spirit, and awe-inspiring desert canyon landscapes carved over millions of years.
Drift through the rugged beauty of Oregon’s high desert, where towering basalt cliffs tell a story of ancient lava flows. Swim in crystal-clear eddies, bask in the sun on golden beaches, and soak in the wild essence of this protected river corridor. With meditation, asana, and nature’s embrace, you’ll rediscover your untamed, true self.
