Rafting - Frequently Asked Questions

I have never been rafting before. Is that okay?
YES!! This specific rafting event is meant for everyone. The trips have mild rapids (Class I and II) and are ideal for all ages and skill levels. Because of the mild nature of this stretch of the river, you will have the opportunity to have a scenic float, get out and swim, and completely relax. The guides are very knowledgeable and take all the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and fun trip.

What age levels are appropriate for rafting?
The minimum age for the day rafting trips is 5 years old. Anyone older than 5 years old is welcome on the trip.

What should I bring?
Each trip already includes everything you need (gear, raft, equipment, guides, transportation). The temperature will be hot, so it is recommended that you dress prepared for summer heat. You will have the opportunity to swim if you desire. Typically the best attire is short-sleeve T-shirt with shorts and swim suit underneath.

• Wear sport shoes/sandals that can get wet
• Bring sunscreen
• Bring a hat, visor and/or sunglasses
• Extra bottle of water

If you need to purchase outdoor gear or clothing, visit Red Rock Outfitters. The Moab Adventure Center also hosts it's own retail store, so you can purchase anything you need when you get to Moab as well.

Where Should I Stay and for How Long?
Lodging and travel options are up to you. Moab has dozens of places to stay or camp. You can pitch a tent, park your RV, stay at a hotel, settle in at a B & B, or reserve a sumptuous suite at an upscale hotel or guest ranch. During the summer, the town gets quite busy, particularly during one of Moab’s many summertime events, so it’s best to plan ahead.

Because the event starts early on Saturday, June 27th and ends late that night, most participants will at least stay in Moab the night before and after the event (Friday and Saturday nights). Many participants will add additional nights and try a Hummer Safari or National Park Tour. Find a complete list of hotels, motels, ranches, condos and campgrounds moab lodging page.

 

50% of all event proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Salt Lake City Affiliate
