Zoller’s Outdoor Odysseys

Drop into the spring-fed White Salmon River with the original outfitter on this stretch, family-run across three generations since 1973. Trips range from the Middle Gorge's roller-coaster rapids to the full Upper-Middle-Lower run, with the optional plunge over Class V Husum Falls for the brave. The private launch sits less than 200 feet from the parking lot, so you spend your day on the water rather than waiting in line. Wetsuits, river clothing, and gear come in every size. Tucked in the Columbia River Gorge minutes from Hood River, it pairs cold glacier water, basalt canyon walls, and guides who genuinely love the run.
