We raft rain or shine! Our most popular trips are located on the Arkansas River which is located in an alpine dessert, so storms pass by relatively quickly. You will notice it may be raining and storming in nearby areas like Breckenridge, while we have sunshine and very quick rain storms here.

For trips in more alpine environments, weather can be different so ask our adventure coordinators about our sanitized wetsuit & dry top rentals if it’s looking cold! Please feel free to bring your rain jacket if it looks like rain is in the forecast on the day of your trip.

Depending on the trip, we do have age restrictions in place for your safety. Your children must be at the age listed (or older) to raft the specific section.

While we do not have a weight restriction, we do require that all guests can safely wear our universal sized, coast guard approved life vests. If this is a concern don’t hesitate to give us a call! The decision if we will be able to take someone down the river safely will ultimately be determined by our experienced guides before your trip.
