Just one hour from Colorado Springs, Echo Canyon's Bighorn Sheep Canyon Half Day rafting trip is the most popular of our river experiences with miles of splashy class II and III whitewater at most water flows. You'll paddle through a number of adventurous rapids but don't forget to keep an eye out for Bighorn Sheep and other wildlife native to this region of Colorado. This is a beginner to intermediate section of whitewater intended for kids as young as about 6 years of age. Swimming ability is recommended, and guests should in relatively good physical condition and stable on their feet. Paddling is not required for this trip for those who prefer to hang on while floating the river. Time of the river is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
Check in at the Echo Canyon office, and we'll walk you through the process of preparing for your rafting trip. Echo provides personal flotation devices (life jackets), helmets, professional guides on each raft, and transportation to and from the river access points.
