For those looking
for extra action and excitement, April and May offer the
spring runoff at its peak when rivers are flowing high and
fast. When the spring runoff subsides, and summer fully arrives,
water flows remain fairly consistent and temperatures rise
to the 90's and 100's, creating ideal rafting weather.
Whitewater Connection offers daily trips from April 1st through early October.
For those who are able to arrange it, we highly recommend weekday trips
which offer smaller groups, lower prices, and fewer rafts on the river.
