Trip Safety and Liability Rocky Mountain Adventures makes every effort to run safe and exciting trips. On most of our trips, you will help paddle the raft with your fellow crewmembers. We provide safety and instructional talks before each trip and it is your responsibility to follow the instructions given. All outdoor adventure activities, including whitewater rafting, involve elements of risk. If you have any physical concerns, please consult your physician before rafting with us. Rocky Mountain Adventures does not assume liability for personal injuries or death. You must sign an "acknowledgement of risk participant agreement" form prior to your trip. Please know that we cannot allow anyone impaired by drugs, including alcohol, to go on any of our trips. No refund will be made. What to Wear Rafting For half-day and full-day trips: We go rafting rain or shine, and having the proper clothing and staying warm ensures you have the best experience. Remember, you will get WET and the water is COLD. For this reason, bring comfortable clothing, such as a bathing suit or nylon shorts, and old tennis shoes or river sandals that attach securely to your feet. When it's sunny, you'll need a sun hat, sunglasses with strap, and sunscreen. On cool days, wear items such as wool or fleece sweaters and socks. We don't recommend blue jeans or cotton clothing, as they get wet and stay wet, keeping you cold. We do recommend wet suits when it's chilly. If you want to rent one, let us know and we can outfit you like a pro. Remember to pack dry clothes to change into after the trip. For overnight trips: Rocky Mountain Adventures will provide you with a watertight duffel-type bag in which to store your gear. You will receive this bag at your trip meeting place, and you can transfer your gear into it there. Because space on rafts is limited and things can become wet or broken, avoid packing unnecessary items. Rocky Mountain Adventures is not responsible for damaged items. Here is a list of what to bring. Store your excess travel baggage in your vehicle and please, don't bring glass bottles.
We have most of these items available from our online store. Buy them now and we can have them waiting for you when you arrive for your trip. You might want to pack items like binoculars and a camera, but remember these items can become damaged. Waterproof cases for storing most cameras and binoculars are available for rent or purchase. The rental cost is $8.00 per trip. Rocky Mountain Adventures supplies tents, cooking gear, eating utensils and plates. Your guides will prepare meals on overnight trips. Call us at 1.800.858.6808 for more information or to reserve your whitewater rafting trip.
