Being prepared for your Denver rafting trip
- Confirm meeting location – Be sure to confirm what River Runners location your trip leaves from.
- Check in one hour early – Check in with our friendly front office staff one hour prior to your trip time to sign waivers and suit up for your rafting trip.
- Dress appropriately - Polypro, fleece, wool, and other materials that are designed to dry quickly are good things to bring. Cotton is not recommended. Sandals with a heel strap or closed toed shoes that can drain are good footwear options. Neoprene wetsuits and booties, and nylon splash tops are available for rent at River Runners.
- Wear plenty of sunscreen – The Colorado sun is intense and you don’t want to spend your vacation in pain from too much it.
