🎉 Adventure Weekend Alert! 🎉
Hey everyone! I'm heading up to Leavenworth for an epic weekend of white water rafting—and you’re invited! This is a multi-meetup adventure, so come join the fun! I’ll be heading up Friday for the weekend (welcome to drive🚗, use comments for carpooling — I'm riding my motorcycle 🏍️—riders, check out the riding group links below!). Or, if you're just in it for the splash, come up Saturday and jump in for the rafting action!
Never been rafting before? No worries—it's beginner-friendly and a total blast! You’ll be with a pro guide the whole time, and it’s the perfect way to try something new with a great group.
But there's more...
🎢 Leavenworth’s brand new Alpine Coaster Park is open—let's check it out!
🍖 After the thrills, we’ll kick back with some of the best BBQ in Washington and enjoy a little wine tasting too. 🍷
🛶 Rafting + Hotel packages and Rafting Only options are available—
