| Yosemite National Park,
CA – July 2011 – Bikers are cruising on the
paths, families are enjoying s’mores at night and summer is now in full-swing
with the opening of rafting in Yosemite
National Park. Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts at Yosemite
offers three-mile rafting trips along the Merced River daily from 10 a.m.
– 4 p.m. and it anticipates the rafting season will run through Labor Day
depending on weather and river level conditions.
“Rafting along the Merced
River is a fun and unique way to explore Yosemite Valley,” said Sean Costello,
manager for Curry Village Recreation Center. “The water and weather conditions
were not typical this year causing a later rafting season than usual and
we expect a fantastic rafting season ahead.”
