Q&A
A: The Bighorn Sheep Canyon tour is great for families! Kids as young as 6 can join, but it’s really up to their comfort level with water and the rapids. Just make sure they're able to follow instructions and wear the gear properly. It's a fun way to introduce them to rafting!
A: Yes, you can reschedule if there's bad weather! River Runners is pretty flexible about that. Just contact them ahead of time, and they’ll help you pick a new date. Safety comes first, so if the conditions aren’t right, they won’t run the tour.
A: Definitely wear something you don’t mind getting wet! Quick-dry clothing is best, and I'd recommend bringing a light jacket if it's chilly in the morning. River Runners provides gear, but you may want to wear sandals or water shoes for comfort. Sunscreen is a must too!
