Our Story
The Beginning of Blue Sky Rafting
Founded in 1997 by adventure enthusiast Pete Giordano, Blue Sky Rafting was born from a deep passion for the outdoors and the thrill of moving water. Pete’s love for rafting began with casual trips down the Wolf River and North Umpqua before taking a beginner kayak course with the Oregon State Outdoor Program. That single course ignited a lifelong love for the challenge and excitement of white-water adventures.
After working as a business manager for a rafting company in Colorado, Pete returned to Oregon in 1998 to bring his own vision to life. With just two rafts and two guides, Blue Sky Rafting officially launched, offering unforgettable day trips on the Sandy and North Santiam Rivers.
