Warm up (Class ii-III) - Bighorn sheep canyon

Warm Up Rapid is a gentle start to the Bighorn Sheep Canyon half day rafting trip. Paddlers will get a few splashes along the way, but the main focus of Warm Up is to work out the cobwebs – to get a paddle crew comfortable working together with their guide to navigate the rapids. 

The Arkansas River is wide and fairly shallow throughout Warm Up Rapid, with a few willow covered islands and gentle class II and III features.
