For those thrill-seekers with solid class III rafting experience, it's time to challenge yourself in the Numbers section. This section has Class IV-V rapids with few eddies or recovery areas. If you have the time, a full day trip is best to get a good taste of what rafting's all about. For a real wilderness trip, take the extra time to go on the Dolores in the spring. Normally the peak runoff occurs in mid-June.
Many groups feel normal water flows provide the most enjoyable ride.
July and August trips are normally hot and sunny with occasional afternoon showers and the water levels are more stable. Weekday trips and morning trips are less crowded than weekend or afternoon trips. We have taken folks 86 years old and quadriplegics on our trips. Our experienced staff of guides and drivers are all well-trained, conscientious individuals who place your safety above all else. However, as a participant in our trips, you must realize that certain hazards do exist in any adventure activity such as rafting, wilderness travel, and related transportation.
