Burnt Ranch Gorge on the Trinity River in Northern California is known worldwide for its challenging water and beautiful scenery.
Its rapids are labyrinthian flows of transparent green and frothy whitewater through truck-sized boulder, speckled with smaller rocks. The canyon is deep and
narrow, bordered by Ironside Mountain on the right. Simply stunning, this technical, furious and heart-pounding run is accessible for those with previous whitewater
experience and demonstrated skill level.
Trinity River Rafting is priviliged to be one of four outfitters offering trips on this demanding run. Because we realize how astounding it is to descend through this magnificent gorge, we desired to make it accessable to more than the most experienced, daring, and fittest by offering a Class IV trip on the first half of the gorge. In this section, above Burnt Ranch Falls Number One, the rapids are shorter and not as steep. They still have the tight slots and much of the magnificent scenery as the remainder of the gorge run. Paddle boats are required, with full participation, but an eager, adventurous person with moderate experience and a knowledgable guide can enjoy this section. This class IV trip ends with a one mile hike out of the river canyon.
You'll thrill as you sneak through tricky slots and go over drops you'd never do on your own while paddling a raft led by a Trinity River Rafting guide. No experience is necessary for this family-friendly guided adventure.
The Pigeon Point Run is a delightful blend of rapids and calm pools. It is arranged perfectly, starting out gently, with short, snappy rapids such as Good Morning America, and Surprise. 
Intensity builds as rapids such as The Slot and Zigzag follow closely. The most powerful and longest rapids climax the trip: Hell Hole, Sailor Bar, Pin Ball, and Fishtail. Between rapids there is ample opportunity for viewing wildlife and delighting in the smells of the forested river canyon. Trinity River Rafting is located at the takeout of the Famous Pigeon Point Run, making your shuttle short and simple with your car safely parked in our private lot. 
Let your busy schedule drift into forgetfulness as you settle into a multiday trip on the Trinity River. While enjoying the loveliness of the river canyon, the finely sculptured rocks, the tree-lined walls, the soaring birds--and as you meld with currents, pick your way through obstacles and experience the water's smooth and easy texture--you come to feel and sense things you haven't had the opportunity to experience in everyday life. Pamper yourself as guides do the chores and prepare scrumtious meals. By day two, inflatable kayaks make a perfect addition for the more adventurous.
