Laura
Laura's Favorite River: The Upper Youghiogheny
"I'm a local girl who loves to go down the river. I grew up swimming in the Yough, so it was only natural to become a river guide. At this point in my life, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I love interacting with the people that come to the river and go rafting. Everyday at work is different and exciting. I hope to see you all at the river !"

Caitlin
Caitlin's Favorite River: The Lower Yough
"I love the outdoors and doing everything as adventerous as possible. Rafting has always been an interest of mine and being a guide allows me to do domething I love and get paid for it. Everyday is different and I never get tired of going down the river."
Trista
Trista's Favorite River: The Lower Youghiogheny
"I always wanted to start rafting for fun years ago but didn't want to pay, plus I had no fearless friends. Now I get paid to raft while making many fearless friends. It's exciting each time I go down. Everyone needs to go rafting at some point in time or else they're missing out on a great time. Plus, if you're an outdoors person as myself, rafting becomes a favorite pastime. White Water Adventurers makes each trip a memory that lasts."
