Salida Valley Half Day Trip
Wetsuit & Splash Jacket
Helmet
PFD
The Salida Valley is an enjoyable way for everyone to experience the Arkansas River. Small splashy rapids and lots of floating. A great way to spend the morning or afternoon with the whole family. Class I and II rapids are interspersed with sections of calm where you can relax and enjoy panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, and abundant wildlife. We meet you at our office where you will be outfitted with a PFD and helmet, and given a safety speech by a trained guide. Then we head to the river located just minutes from our office. Wetsuits and splash jackets also provided free of charge if needed.

My mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband, 3 children (ages 7, 8, and 9), and myself did the half day Salida Valley Rafting Adventure with Adam. We were originally going to do the Browns Canyon half day rafting trip, but the water was too high that particular day for it to have been safe and enjoyable with the little ones. The Salida Valley half day was absolutely perfect for our first time rafting as a family! The kids LOVED it. It was just enough of a mix of calm and adventure for them, and they CANNOT WAIT TO GO AGAIN! Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We felt very safe with him as our guide and really enjoyed everything he could tell us about the area! I will definitely plan on doing our next rafting trip with him at Monumental Expeditions.
