Q&A
A: Yes, kids have to be at least 6 years old to participate in the Bighorn Sheep Canyon tour. It’s really family-friendly, but make sure they’re comfortable with water activities. Also, keep an eye on the weather as it can affect the conditions.
A: Dress in quick-drying clothes! You'll get wet, so avoid cotton. Swimwear or shorts with a moisture-wicking top is ideal. They provide gear, but you might want to bring water shoes or sandals with straps.
A: Yes! If the weather is too severe, they’ll allow you to reschedule. Just be sure to call them ahead of time if you’re concerned. Safety is their top priority, and they’re good about working with you to find another date.

Thinking of gifting the Bighorn Sheep Canyon rafting tour!
Hey everyone! I’m considering giving this full-day whitewater rafting tour in Cañon City as a gift for my family. Has anyone done this? I heard it’s beginner-friendly with class III rapids, which sounds fun but not too crazy. I love the idea of us enjoying lunch together while keeping an eye out for Bighorn Sheep! Any tips or experiences to share?
Anyone done the Bighorn Sheep Canyon rafting? Need some details!
I’m planning to take my kids on this rafting adventure! Just trying to get more info on what the experience is like. How intense are the rapids? And is it really good for beginners? My kids are 8 and 10, and I want to make sure it’ll be fun for all of us. Thanks!
