What To Expect
Located about 15 minutes away from downtown Ft. Collins and an hour away from Estes Park and Boulder. After arriving, check in with the Trip leader for the "Taste Trip" Class II-III. Please make sure you have shoes or sandals that will not fall off your feet (Crocs and flip flops are not allowed). Bootie shoes and wetsuits are available to rent if interested. Life jackets and helmets will be handed, you'll watch an instructional safety video and we will all get into our rafting bus and drive 20 minutes up the Poudre Canyon to the put in. We will unload the rafts and the trip leader will direct rafters to their assigned raft. Additional instruction will be provided by each raft guide to their crew and answer any additional questions. Each rafter will use a paddle and follow the guides instructions to navigate Class II and III Whitewater. The Poudre River is not a float trip, it is exciting, and guests should arrive expecting to paddle and participate in the adventure. This trip is good for families with children as young as 7. Small Children are allowed to sit in the middle of the raft and hold on if interested. Come have fun and make some new memories with us!
