Q&A

Q: How cold is the water in early June for the Browns Canyon rafting trip?

A: The water in June can be pretty chilly, usually around 50-60°F. I'd recommend wearing a wetsuit if you're sensitive to the cold, but they often provide splash gear that's good enough for most folks. Just remember, you're gonna get wet, so dress accordingly! Also, don’t forget sunscreen, the sun can be pretty intense out there.

Q: Is there an age limit for the Browns Canyon rafting trip? Can kids go?

A: Yes, kids can definitely go on the Browns Canyon rafting trip! They usually allow kids as young as 6 years old. Just make sure they can swim and are comfortable in the water. It’s a family-friendly section, so it should be a blast for everyone!

Q: What's the parking situation like at Buena Vista for rafting? Is it easy to find?

A: Parking is usually pretty straightforward in Buena Vista. There's a designated lot where they pick you up for the rafting trip. Just arrive a bit early to ensure you get a spot, especially on weekends. If the lot fills up, there are nearby street spots, but they might require a short walk.
