Resources

River Currents Resources is a blog open to the many voices that have a connection with the river and our trips. Here, we share advice to get the most out of your trip, information about the places we travel, insight into the history of Holiday, and much more.

You’ll hear from our regular contributors such as Jasmine Wilhelm, Eli Shostak, and Rica Fulton. You’ll also hear from the voices of guides such as Susan Munroe and Justin Malloy, whose lives have been shaped by their time on the river, and from guests who bring the perspectives that remind us why we’re still making these trips happen for 60 years and counting.
