The River is Rising

2:19 PM, Posted by Unknown, No Comment

We were just out checking on the Red Deer River this Sunday afternoon. Two pictures were taken that would compare with two pictures from last week. You can see that a lot of ice has melted and that the river has been rising although just a minor amount.

Next weekend we will start with our guide training. The weather forecast is for a warming trend so it should be a larger change in the water volume than this last weeks changes.

The guess now is the start of our rafting season is at least 2 weekends away. Today it is too difficult to say when. We are accepting bookings for the upcoming season now.

Looking at the pictures, today is a nicer day than last Sunday. There is less of the rocks showing in todays pictures than last weekend as well, (the pictures on the right).

If you’re looking to become a rafting guide and can make some commitment to it, now is the time to give me a call. It takes time to get the courses under your belt and gain the experience you need.
