The Adventure

Run the river.

This guided 7 hours outing puts you out to punch through the rapids of a snowmelt-fed canyon with licensed swiftwater river guides leading the way. We handle the gear, the route-finding, and the safety so you can focus on the experience — whether it's your first time out or your fiftieth. Small groups of up to 6 keep it personal, and your guide reads the conditions and tailors the day to the people who show up.

No experience required. We provide a thorough on-site briefing, walk you through the technique, and stay right beside you the whole way. All you bring is a sense of adventure — and maybe a camera.

Guest Stories
The big rapids had us screaming and laughing the whole way. Our guide read the river like a book and kept us right-side-up.

Went in August
Cold, wild, and a total blast. The safety briefing was thorough and then it was pure adrenaline through the canyon.

Before You Book

No experience necessary. A basic level of fitness helps, but your guide handles all the technical parts and sets the pace to the group.

Guests must be at least 12 years old to join. Anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a parent or guardian, and younger kids should be accompanied by an adult on the trip.

We run rain or shine — a little weather is part of the fun. We only pause for lightning or unsafe flows. If we have to cancel for safety, you can reschedule free or take a full refund.

All the technical gear — your raft and paddles, wetsuit, and the rest — plus expert guiding and a safety briefing. You bring weather-appropriate clothing, water, and snacks; see the "Come Prepared" list above.

Absolutely. Private trips are perfect for families, birthdays, and corporate outings. Tell us your group size and preferred date and we'll set you up with your own departure and guide.
