Description
The full-day trip covers 24 miles of beautiful scenery, starting in a narrow winding canyon and ending in the lush valley of Norwood Canyon. Half-way through the trip, we'll stop for a delicious and well deserved deli-style lunch. The first section of the San Miguel comes with a steeper gradient, and thus bigger and more constant whitewater! Expect a lot of paddling and class II-III rapids. As we paddle farther downstream, the river corridor starts to widen and the rapid sections calm to class II. This stretch gives you more time to take in the scenery and look for wildlife. Once we reach the take-out at Norwood Canyon, we'll shuttle you back to your vehicle at Caddis Flats Campground. If you're wondering what the rapid class even means: Class II rapids splash over bow and get the people at the front of the boat. Class III rapids can soak everyone head to toe. This is a great trip for all experience levels, as long as you want a fun hands-on experience as paddling is required on this trip. All rafting trips come with a safety orientation and paddle instruction from your highly-trained river guides. You'll be provided with a PFD (aka life jacket), paddle, and wetsuit if you're renting one.
