Just one hour from Colorado Springs, Echo Canyon's Bighorn Sheep Canyon Half Day rafting trip is the most popular of our river experiences with miles of splashy class II and III whitewater at most water flows. You'll paddle through a number of adventurous rapids but don't forget to keep an eye out for Bighorn Sheep and other wildlife native to this region of Colorado. This is a beginner to intermediate section of whitewater intended for kids as young as about 6 years of age. Swimming ability is recommended, and guests should in relatively good physical condition and stable on their feet. Paddling is not required for this trip for those who prefer to hang on while floating the river. Time of the river is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the Bighorn Sheep Canyon tour?

A: The minimum age for this tour is about 6 years old, which is great for families! Just keep in mind that while the rapids are beginner-friendly, it's best if the kids can swim a bit and are comfortable in water. Having them wear life jackets provided by the company will ensure their safety. It's a fun way for the whole family to bond together outdoors!

Q: What should we wear for the rafting tour? Is it cold?

A: You'll want to wear something comfortable and quick-drying, like a swimsuit or athletic wear. They provide wetsuits, which is great, but it can still get chilly when you're wet, especially on windy days. A water-resistant layer is a good idea, and don't forget a pair of sturdy sandals or water shoes! Bring a towel for after the trip too.

Q: Is it easy to reschedule if the weather looks bad?

A: Yes, Echo Canyon has a flexible rescheduling policy! If bad weather is expected, they’ll usually reach out to you and help you find a new date. Just make sure to call them in advance to discuss options. They really want everyone to have a safe and fun experience.

Thinking of booking the Bighorn Sheep Canyon rafting trip for my family!

I’m really considering the Bighorn Sheep Canyon Half Day Tour for my family this summer. It sounds perfect for our kids (ages 7 and 9). I love that it’s only an hour from Colorado Springs. Plus, it’s cool that they offer free wetsuit gear! I just want to make sure it’s a good fit for them. Has anyone gone on this trip recently? Any tips?

Anyone try the Bighorn Sheep Canyon tour in the fall?

I’m planning to book the Bighorn Sheep Canyon tour this fall. Heard the scenery is beautiful with the leaves changing! I’m just a bit worried about how cold it might be. What’s the water temperature like this time of year?
