All too tame for you? Get your heart beating faster on whitewater-rafting adventures from Kaweah Whitewater Adventures (also five minutes), where guides offer family fun tours, mid-level rapids or advanced thrill-seeker expeditions. You might also like to explore the surrounding valleys and forests on mountain bikes or horseback.
