When you're paddling down a Central Sierra Nevada river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.

This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Super Slide section is one of them. Whitewater rafting and   kayaking spots in California tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Briefly about the general area: Why not take a refreshing hike along the John Muir Trail - section 1; Pywiack Cascade is an inspiring site to go to during your stay. So many enjoyable things in the Central Sierra Nevada, just impressive. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Badger Pass since you're here. Take a hike on the Clouds Rest Trail.
