Rafting in Yosemite Valley

Abstract or Long Description:

Rafting on the Merced River can be one of the most refreshing ways to see Yosemite Valley's spectacular scenery. It's an easy half-day adventure for young and old alike. This is one of the best ways to relax and unwind. The length of the rafting season changes from year to year depending on variables such as river depth and water and air temperature. A typical season begins the last weekend of May and ends sometime in July. The Merced River will be closed to all flotation devices whenever the river gauge at the Sentinel Bridge reads 6.5 feet or higher.
