Plan Your Trip

Quick-drying clothes and secure footwear that can get wet (water shoes, old sneakers, or river sandals with heel straps — no flip-flops). In cooler weather, add a synthetic or wool layer. Bring sunscreen, a hat with a strap, and sunglasses with a retainer. Skip cotton on the river — it stays cold when wet.

Yes. You will get wet, guaranteed. Pack a full dry set — including underwear, socks, and shoes — to change into after the trip. A towel and a warm layer are nice to have, especially on cooler days.

Round-trip transportation from Colorado Springs to the river, a certified guide, riverside lunch, and all rafting gear — top-quality raft, PFD (life jacket), helmet, and paddle.

Wolfpack Rafting c/o Broadmoor Outfitters, 6 Lake Ave (across from the Golden Bee), Colorado Springs, CO 80906. Transportation to the Arkansas River launch site is included.

Yes — free parking is available near 6 Lake Ave. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure so we can get you checked in and on the shuttle on time.

Plan on approximately 7 hours total, including transportation to and from the river, safety briefing, time on the water, and lunch.

Minimum age and weight requirements shift with river flow. In most conditions the minimum age is 8 and minimum weight is 50 lbs, but please call 719.471.6168 to confirm the current requirements for your trip date before booking.

Strong swimming skills are not required, but you should be comfortable in moving water. Every guest wears a Coast Guard-approved PFD (life jacket) and helmet, and your guide will cover swim technique in the safety briefing before we launch.

Bighorn Sheep Canyon is Class III — perfect for beginner and intermediate rafters. Expect broad, fast water with 1–3 foot whitecaps and calm stretches between the rapids. No experience is required.

We recommend leaving phones and non-waterproof cameras in the shuttle. If you bring one on the water, it must be in a waterproof case tethered to you or the raft. Wolfpack isn't responsible for lost or damaged personal items.

Reservations must be confirmed 48 hours prior to your trip date. Popular dates fill quickly, so book early — especially for summer weekends and holidays.

Yes — you're already going to be wet! Trips run rain or shine. In the rare event of unsafe conditions (lightning, severe weather), we'll reschedule or refund. Safety first, always.
