Pages we like Hotel Charlotte  Groveland Yosemite HWY 120

Our friend Eric who stayed with
 us before and after 3 different rafting trips, once on the Merced, just outside Yosemite, again on the Tuolumne River and finally on the challenging Class V white water, Cherry Creek, sent us a link to a YouTube.com video of his Cherry Creek river rafting trip. Take a look, feel the adventure and then book your own thrill ride!

Because we are located midway between the river's put in and take out points, Hotel Charlotte is a great Tuolumne river rafting hotel choice.

The Tuolumne river is designated a wild and scenic river and offers class lV+ white water rapids through the spring and Class lV in the summer. Cherry Creek, a northern fork to the Tuolumne runs Class V White water rapids and is for the experienced rafters. Most of the outfitters below have departures on either river. Tuolumne trips can be from 1-3 days and Cherry a single day.

If you are considering a do-it-yourself rafting trip, please be sure to check out this website for waterflows. Float when it's safe! http://www.dreamflows.com/graphs/day.090.php
