When Is The Best Time To Go Rafting?

Because the river conditions vary throughout the season it is important to choose the time of the Summer that is best suited to you:

Mid May to End of June

River may be running high. Water is extremely cold and the weather is still pretty chilly. Best time to go if you want the most challenging and exciting time. Big waves and fast moving water make rafting at this time of the year an unforgettable experience.

Most of July

River is usually running at a moderate level and the weather becomes much warmer. There is still enough variety to provide a challenge to experienced rafters but is well suited for first time rafters. River and weather conditions make this the most popular time of the Summer to go rafting

End of July to Late August

Warm weather and technical maneuvers are what you will experience during this time of the season. The water is low and the maneuvering becomes exciting and challenging. Expect to bump into rocks as you wind your way down the canyon. The weather is usually warm enough to swim in the crystal clear water.
