My wife, daughter and I are planning on taking a trip to California to visit her family (my wife is from LA originally). Her family live in San Bernardino, not far from Great Bear Lake. We have said we will all get to go something we really want to do while we are there as we don't often get chance to have a holiday like this. We have said we will take Heather to Disneyland as she has been on about going for a few years and as much as I detest Disney I'm happy to make the sacrifice of a few days there (its her holiday too after all). Cathy has made a list of places she wants to visit and has suggested she might like to do a spot of canoeing which is exactly what I wanted to do.
Now I have looked all around California and it seems everywhere caters for kayaks but nobody seems to do canoes. I have found one based on the Colorado River in Arizona but fancied a bit more greenery. I don't want to do white water canoeing or anything extreme as I will have my 6 year old daughter with me and I want her to enjoy it as much as us.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to where we might try to find a guided canoe tour that would take no more than 2 or 3 days?
I have even thought about flying to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming as I have always wanted to go there but if we could find something in California e.g. Yosemite National Park or similar than we would take that instead.
Any help would be greatly received.
