After a 2.5 mile van ride to the put-in, your guides will get the rafts ready to float and give a Safety Briefing including Rafting Basics before dividing into rafting crews and launching.
The first half of the trip is a mellow scenic float to prepare you for the rapids of the downtown whitewater park that make up the second half. At medium and high flows expect big breaking waves that will soak you head to toe! At lower flows the waves are splashy fun for just about everyone.
Your van and driver will be waiting to load up and drive you the 1 mile back to our shop where you can get back to your dry clothes. The complimentary photos will be in your inbox shortly. Don't forget to say goodbye to your rafting crew and grab a Pagosa Outside souvenir from our retail store.
