Known as the "Upper C" by locals, this mellow stretch of the Colorado River will allow you to relax and soak it in on an 8 or 10 person white water raft, and you might even be able to take a dip along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along the banks along with remnants of old mining claims in the area and enjoy the mellow white water rapids along the way.

INTERMEDIATE AND THRILL-SEEKER TRIPS

TRIPLE WHAMMY - SHOSHONE RAPIDS - COLORADO RIVER CANYON RAFTING
Class II - III (July - Sept.)

This is the rapids-only portion of the Shoshone Trip. This whitewater is so much fun that we do them three times in a row! Starting like a regular Shoshone Rapids trip, we'll surge through the upper rapids and then rather than continuing on through the Canyon, we'll load up the gear and head back up for another run, and another!
