What To Expect
Get ready for an exciting journey through time, even to your younger self. As the raft leaves the shore, the final destination lies in a different time zone. In between, sandy beaches, crashing waves, and whitewater thrills distort time as adults and children become the same. Here only the present moment matters. Get ready and hold on tight, you're about to leave reality behind! Whether you're a seasoned rafter or a beginner, this section is the perfect place for an unforgettable adventure. Rapids like Ruby, Lake Creek, Time Zone, Tight Squeeze, Chair, Fiddle, Black Rock, and more will test your limits and bring out your inner adventurer. Get ready to navigate into a new whitewater timezone and immerse yourself in the present moment. Along the way, serene stretches of the river offer a chance to take in the breathtaking scenery. Watch for wildlife along the banks, and don't forget to look up at the stunning mountains above. In the end, you'll find yourself at the edge of a new timezone, both literally and figuratively. It's a place where memories are made, friendships are forged, and every traveler, young or old, returns to shore with a renewed sense of wonder and adventure.

5.0070 yr old grandma and teenage grandsons had fabulous few hours with sweet and extremely competent Gracie! Will return for another section of river and longer trip. Gracie made the trip fun for the boys, even on the quieter sections. They learned a lot about the river and rafting expertise. We all thought the trip very reasonably priced and great value.
