Canyon Whitewater Rafting 

• Check-in at our Base in Grande Cache: We’ll welcome you, check you in, and get you geared up with a wetsuit, helmet, jacket, and PFD.
• Short Shuttle to the Canyon: A 10-minute drive takes you to a forested ridge overlooking the Sulphur River Canyon.
• Walk Down to the River: Follow a scenic path into the canyon. At the river’s edge, we double-check gear and give a detailed safety briefing.
• Raft the Sulphur River: Paddle through Class II/III rapids surrounded by towering cliffs. You’ll work as a team, laugh, and take in the magic of this untouched place.
• Float on the Smoky River: At Sulphur Gates, the canyon opens up and the river widens. This calm stretch is perfect for relaxing and optional water fights or swimming.
• Shuttle Back to Base: After landing, we return to the base where you can change and dry off — and maybe swap a few stories from the day.

Check in at your trip start time

1. Do I have to make a reservation?
   Generally, yes. But if there's space on a trip that's already going out, you can book at the last minute.
2. How far in advance should I book? The sooner, the better. Saturdays often sell out, but whatever is available online is available to book. Groups of more than 8 wanting a Saturday trip should book at least 2 weeks in advance. 
3. ​I don’t see the date I want!
   Contact us. We might be able to fit you in.
4. How old do you have to be?
   The minimum age is 8+. At higher water, that can change. 
5. Do I have to know how to swim?
   No. Everyone wears a lifejacket (PFD), and the Safety Talk covers what to do if you fall out of the raft.​
6. What if it rains or gets cold?
   Rafting is a great activity in the rain - we're trying to get wet! Plus, we have excellent gear that will keep you warm even on the coldest of days.
