Water is Life
Seeing water, hearing water, being near water triggers a flood of neurochemicals in our brains, which induces a meditative state of relaxation. Makes us feel calm. It’s biological. Even that really fast water we call rapids. That is until you climb on raft and head down the toss and tumble sections of our American and Truckee Rivers — then you get that wonderful tug-o-war between calm and exhilaration. Of course, not all of our water adventures involve adrenaline. We have waters perfect for the stealth of kayaks, paddleboards and canoes, and boating.
“Water is the driving force of all nature.” — Leonardo da Vinci
