This is the Yosemite adventure you didn’t know you were missing out on. Hop on a 1-day Wild & Scenic Merced River rafting trip just outside of the park and you’ll be in for a wild ride through rollercoaster rapids, super fun wave trains and beautiful Sierra scenery. All that water from the waterfalls has to go somewhere, right? | OARS - Whitewater Rafting

The adults were rescued from the river 18 months ago and because of the drought and warm water had to be kept at the Merced River Hatchery where they spawned. Should be good fishing later this year for Merced area anglers. | California Department of Fish and Wildlife | Facebook
