We took a $30 raft and inner tubes for the 4th of July this year and last. We took one car this year, floated to River Ranch, then walked back on the riverside bike path. There's plenty of parallel parking along the river for free and there's also a bus for $1.75 that runs every hour from River Ranch back up to Tahoe City, but we thought ...

Fun until guide steers you wrong...

Fun for the Entire Family and Friends!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/13/07
What a better way to spend the day rafting down the Truckee River and then eating at the BridgeTender and/or the River Ranch! Not only is this the best thing to do for an entire family, it can take as long as you want it to take! Way too much FUN
