Afternoon Trip
The rapids on the Mishawaka Falls section of the Cache la Poudre are much more action-packed than the other half-day whitewater rafting trips, with plunges that vary from intermediate to advanced in difficulty (i.e., Class III and IV rapids). The current is swift and the channels are narrow, with fun but challenging rapids. Rafters on this adventure must be at least 13 years old and must come prepared for hard stroking, teamwork and getting wet. Wet suits on this trip are highly suggested. Meeting Time: 12:30 PM
This Cache la Poudre trip, in addition to running the same stretch of river as the Mishawaka Falls section described above, stops part way through for lunch along the river. Meeting Time: 10:00 AM
The full-day whitewater rafting trip on the Cache la Poudre begins near the community of Rustic at an elevation of about 8,000 feet, and finishes near the community of Poudre Park. The river has rapids that are advanced in difficulty (i.e., Class III and IV rapids. The stream channel is narrow and rocky, and the current is very swift with almost continuous rapids. Waves frequently break over the front of our self-bailing rafts, making for a wet and exciting trip. For this reason, we VERY STRONGLY SUGGEST a wet suit. The minimum age for rafters on this adventure is 13 years. Meeting Time: 8:15 AM
