You might not be heading for a night out on the town, but it's important that you're dressed appropriately for your trip.
- Sunglasses are essential if there is any sun out whatsoever. The glare off the water is going to get to you. Not only does it make navigation difficult, but it could cause damage to your eyes, particularly on a full day trip. Be prepared.
- If you are rafting in the fall or on a colder day, wetsuits are available, but in general, you can't go wrong sticking with a pair of athletic shorts or swim trunks, as well as a non-cotton shirt. Some women who have joined us have mentioned that they would also recommend one-piece bathing suits.
- Water shoes are best for footwear because they won't bog you down should you fall out or go for a swim. Just make sure you have footwear that won't slip off easily, or we may have to reach for our Duct Tape.
- Many folks like to carry water bottles on their trips as well. The rafts do have d-rings, so that you can clip your bottle in without fear of losing it in choppy water.
- Keep in mind that safety is always a priority. Helmets and life jackets are required at all times in the raft. These are provided for you to make sure that you are ready for anything.
Following these simple guidelines and being prepared will help to provide you with a great first time white water rafting Colorado experience. Many people who raft regularly fell in love with the sport on their very first ride, so you may discover that this is a hobby you want to return to over and over.
