Insider info
Booking Tips from the Experts
Make the most of your trip by following a few simple guidelines:
- Go with the flow ā river flows are best before mid-August when we usually see seasonal declines in volume
- Rise and shine ā morning trips tend to be less busy and have the best chance for sunny skies and warmer temps
- Plan for some chill time ā rafting can be tiring, build in some time for snacks and hanging out after your trip
- Build and bundle ā you can pair trips with additional activities and lodging on the same reservation
- Stay and play ā we have cabins and glamping tents on-site and endless activities in the area
Aww shucks, you really like us!
