“This is an experience that does something to the soul”.
The Star Gazers Drift is a mystical paddle into the silence of the night... lay back on the raft and gaze into the star sky. People are amazed at how well they see. Their sense of sound increases acutely. There is something different about peering out… and experiencing darkness.
With night comes an amazing world of activity. There are fish splashing as they feed in the darkness. There are the ripple lines of swimming beaver and the explosion of their tails... the snort of alarmed deer... the dinosaur gawking of the Great Blue Herons. A forest of twinkling fireflies in June… endless chorus of crickets, frogs and toads… the symphony of the night. But the highlight is the howl of coyotes or hooting horned owls echoing down the corridors of the valley.
A world of silhouettes…
where a river paddled during the day is a different place at night.
