Tuolumne River Rapids - Sierra Mac - Yosemite -2023
Near Yosemite is some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. This year , 2023 we have some of the best conditions all time! The Main Tuolumne is as good as any major run in the world, when it is over 10,000 CFS. Like the Futaleúfu, or even the mighty Zambezi. Join the fun, trips launch daily in June.

On Yosemite's Northern Highway 120, 2.5 hours from San Francisco, this incredible run is guaranteed by upstream reservoirs, providing ideal flows during power generation until Labor day every year.

Sierra Mac rafting on the Tuolumne River @ 9,000CFS. The water is melting in Yosemite and Tuolumne Meadows. Thus, the river is running high and wild. This is a short edit of some of the class 4 raft run from Sierra Mac's trip on May 2nd.

A training seminar and Class V paddler's test are required for this thrill ride and included at the beginning of the trip. With a phenomenally steep gradient averaging 110 feet per mile, the Cherry Creek/Upper Tuolumne run is the most challenging run in the U.S. and the standard by which Class V runs are measured. This intense and demanding stretch of river in the Stanislaus National Forest com...

It's God's creation to make nature that beautiful frfr
On such narrow stretches of water, those long oars are mostly useless.
Interesting, I strongly disagree. Every run has benefits and challenges to navigate, on Cherry Creek all commercial trips have OARS. Paddlers help out a lot too!
@@TagVids, oars are vital. Long oars, though, are cumbersome and ineffective when there is not enough room to handle them.
Ran this with Sierra Mac around 1990 or so, just after Memorial Day. Snowed the night before. Around $350 IIRC. Do you still do the swim test ?
Yes, the swim test is essential to the safety aspect of our program. It gives great perspective on what it takes to swim out of the river and get acclimated to the frigid waters! 🍒🏞🛶🌊
Dope
where are the rafts being taken out at??? Old Wards Ferry being closed seems to leave floating down to the lake, what say you.
We are towing all the way to moccasin marina, it adds about an extra hour and a half to the trip
I ran this section in one hour with a friend of mine side by side in a 13ft raft. Smoked this run.
Good for you! 🍒🏞🛶🌊
“Droping” lol
Now imagine running this with bucket boats instead of SBs…
I didn’t see any class IV’s let alone V’s.
Thanks BeelzeBob, perhaps you should come see them up close. 🤣
Tell me you’ve never been to the creek without telling me. Go there with that attitude and it’ll eat you alive! 😂
@@SierraMacRiverTrips Thanks for the videos and the memories, lads. My and my team used to run this at 1000-2500 cfs in our Dancers in the early '90s -- and yeah, this tape is a little lower (1200 cfs?) but it captures the excitement! I can still remember flying off the rock in Lewis' Leap! Makes me wanna take a seat in a raft and do it all again!
Nice
The drone perspective shows how much a light boat is tossed around. Love that feeling.
I love watching Adam make it look so smooth!
Such a rush!! Thank you for the fun and safety, Barry!!
This is awesome! I'm a reporter for Caters News and we'd love to feature this in a new tv series we're working on. Can you please email me at alycecollins@catersnews.com for info - thanks!

I like it Tom! Nice footage.
need new oars for my kayak so I can row my canoe down this
I just realized that I totally just watched this with no sound on the laptop... I didn't even notice because the action was sooooo cool!! Well, ok then... now I'm going to rewatch it on the tv+surround... MMMMMMmmmmmm!!!! Love it Tom!!!
Nadacop thanks for the sweet comment!
It’s far better without the music..
Great drone footage..!! Nothing like a raging Sierra snow melt
Great footage! Thanks for making the effort to get a drone out there! And if you’re reading this and haven’t rafted Cherry Creek, go do it!!
That's some sexy flying man! It is great seeing such a powerful section from such a unique angle.
I'm glad you got to shoot this trailer before the rim fire. Most people would have never seen the beauty of this wilderness canyon, now even the adventurers will have only memories of what once was.
