You will arrive at our Canon City office, 2315 East Main St., directly across the highway from McDonalds at about 8:15, where you will be greeted by our friendly staff. Then sign waivers, check-in, and take care of any outstanding financial matters. At check-in take the opportunity to decide if you are going to take advantage of our free wetsuit, splash jacket, and river bootie use. Get changed in our new spacious dressing rooms and lock up your stuff in your car or in our lockers. DON'T take your car keys on the river! We will then fit you with a life jacket and a helmet. Let's get to the river! We'll transport you to the river in one of our vans or busses, give you a thorough safety talk and paddling instructions before your adventure begins. Once on the water, watch for big horn sheep has you prepare to navigate class II and III rapids. You and your crew will navigate through rapid like Five Points, Spike Buck, and Cowgirl Up! You may even enjoy a short swim to cool down on a hot day. After traveling about 9 miles, your trip will end at Parkdale beach, where a Raft Master vehicle will meet you and transport you back to our office in Canon City. Once you have returned to Raft Masters, check-in your rafting equipment, take a warm shower, and change into your warm clothes. Then join us in the gift shop to check out your action-packed photos and to listen to the wild stories of the day. Also you will have the opportunity to purchase souvenirs for yourself or a friend or family member who couldn't make the trip.
