All About Sundance Kayak School

Sundance has been a household name on the Rogue River since 1973. Our Kayak Schools have launched many paddlers into their first rapid and our guides enjoy sharing the glory of the Rogue with returning and first-time visitors. We hope you'll join us on a trip and learn why we love rafting the Rogue River.

Sundance Staff

In 2009, Sundance changed hands and is now operated by a threesome of river lovers who have outfitted rafting trips for many years, but perhaps more importantly, possess a passion for the West's waterways and natural environments. Zach Collier began his river career as a humble guide, and throughout the last 12 years, he's worked with 10 different outfitters on 20 rivers. He has managed ECHO River Trips, another Rogue rafting outfitter, for the last 3 years. As a kayaker, he's paddled the world from Bald Rock Canyon in California to Nepal's Kali Gandaki.

If Zach contributes the vigor and youth of the new Sundance operation, Dick Linford and Joe Daly bring the sage business perspective, having owned and operated their company, ECHO River Trips, since 1972. Throughout the past 4 decades, Dick and Joe have learned to not only run quality rafting trips, but also create family vacations and share their love of the outdoors with everyone they meet. Joe was the president of the Tuolumne River Trust for 12 years. Dick presided over America Outdoors, which is the nation's leading association for outfitters. With these three at the helm, you as our guest should rest assured that you'll experience a memorable trip.
