www.kernrafting.com - For Kern River Outfitters Sue Cawdrey, 415-789-9036 sue@cawdrey.com. Kern River Outfitters, one of Southern California's premier white water outfitters, will offer several two-day theme trips on the Lower Kern this season, including a Haute Cowboy Cooking trip on June 25-26, a Pub & Grub trip featuring micro brews from Kern River Brewery on
July 10-11, and a Yoga on the Kern Retreat with Master Yoga Instructor Nancy Ivy on July 15-16.
Special two-day family trips are also scheduled for Monday and Wednesday departures throughout the season, which will extend from May through the end of August this year thanks to a wet winter and ample water storage in Lake Isabella.
"Our specialty theme trips provide a new and interesting twist to an already fun and exhilarating white water get-away," comments Kern River Outfitters' General Manager Keith "Luther" Stephens.
With the increasing popularity of Food Network cooking shows, Kern River Outfitters' June 25-26 trip featuring Haute Cowboy Cuisine is certain to fill quickly. This trip will feature a fresh look at old cowboy favorites, with seasoned river guides demonstrating and preparing several "haute" dishes ($338 per person). A celebration of great food and fine micro brews from Kern River Brewing Company (www.kernriverbrewingcompany.com), including Isabella Blonde, Sequoia Red, Just Outstanding IPA and Class V Stout, will provide a fabulous and delicious experience on the July 10-11 Pub & Grub trip ($428 per person). A thrilling whitewater adventure coupled with the serenity and relaxation only a yoga experience can provide will offer just the ticket for beginners and yoga enthusiasts alike on July 15-16. Master Yoga Instructor Nancy Ivy will lead this special trip, featuring lighter-than-normal, delicious fresh fare ($428 per person).
With three sections to choose from and varied levels of difficulty, the Kern offers something for everyone. The Forks is an awesome three-day adrenaline rush for experienced paddlers and the more athletically inclined, the Upper is fast and furious and ideal for folks with just one day to spare, and the Lower is the ultimate one- or two-day family adventure vacation get-away for families with kids age 9 and up.
