Travelers will get out of shuttle and receive a trip orientation while all the rafts are prepared for launch. The rafting will be 2 hours of big waves and pools to swim in. There are waterfalls entering the canyon from the Thousand Springs area. The water is warm and is always at a high flow year round. The high flow means big waves!
