1. Will I fall out of
the raft?
On the float trips, you
may get knocked over by the beautiful scenery, but you will
not get knocked out of the raft. About every second white water
trip, someone falls out but they are usually hauled back on the
raft within micro seconds. On Kayak trips, you are almost guaranteed to fall overboard, but it's very easy to get
back on, as they are inflatables.
2. Do I need experience?
No experience required. We provide full training before your journey so you can have just as much fun as experienced rafters.
3. Are the guides qualified?
Our guides are fully qualified and licensed river guides. Please click here to learn more.
4. What do I need to
bring?
You need to bring a swimsuit to wear under the Mountain High wetsuit, warm socks for inside your wetsuit boots, a sweater, any medication you may use (ie: inhaler, insulin etc), dry clothes for after your journey and the remaining balance of your payment to Mountain High.
5. What is provided?
We provide all the fixins for a fun, warm and safe day on the river, including a wet suit, life jacket, spray jacket, wetsuit boots, helmet, paddle, rafts/kayaks, pre-trip instructions and a qualified guide.
6. How much does it
cost?
Prices vary based on the type of trip you have with Mountain High. Please click here for our prices.
7. Can I bring sunglasses?
There is
no chance of losing your glasses on the float trips, but on
white water trips, we recommend glasses straps, which hang around
your neck. For contact users, clients have had little problems
losing or misplacing them.
8. Is the water cold?
The water can be cold at times, but is barely noticable during your time on the river as Mountain High provides industry standard wetsuits which keep you nice and cozy in just about any condition.
9. How do I get there?

12. What is the largest size wetsuit available?

4 XL and they are very stretchy. The limiting factor is the
lifejacket, which can expand to a 52 inch chest or waist. On
the Raging Elk Canyon there is a ten minute hike to get to
the river; which involves walking down about 300 steps.
