Description
Meet us at our Durango Office at 8:30 AM and suit up for the river! You'll meet your guides and get fitted for a life jacket, helmet, and other river getup if needed (wetsuits or splash jackets when the weather/water is chilly). Then we'll shuttle over to the river! Your guides will provide a quick safety orientation before heading out on the beautiful Lower Animas River for an hour. In between the calm sections and time to chat with your guide, we'll splash through plenty of Class II and one Class III rapid as we paddle downstream. Class II rapids are "fun and friendly" rolling over the front of the bow and splashing those at the front of the boat. Class III rapids are "wet and fun" soaking everyone head to toe. Spring trips usually have higher flows with bigger splashes, while summer tends to have lower flows with more mild splashes. After an hour of fun, we'll take out, load up the boats and shuttle you back to our Durango Office.
