Red Rock Canyon Rafting
$50, youth $47
Red Rock Canyon - Quick and Easy Rafting
Whitewater means wet! We suggest dressing in layers.
For May – early June: non-cotton underwear or bathing suit (this helps keep your warm while cotton will keep you cool through evapotranspiration), non-cotton shorts or pants, and non-cotton t-shirt and then long sleeve shirt. If guests need fewer layers, that’s easy! Just take off your long pants or long shirt. If guests need more layers, we provide splash tops and bottoms. The layers you have on already will help trap your body heat.
Mid June – Aug: some type of underwear or bathing suit, t- shirt and shorts, if you are a person who gets cold feel free to bring a long sleeve as well. Remember that cotton will cool you down. On a day where you are rafting at 1:30pm and it is supposed to be 98 degrees, cotton will help you stay cool. If you are rafting at 9am and the forecast calls for light clouds and 65, less cotton will keep you warmer until the sun makes it’s appearance later that morning.
All guests should Wear shoes that can get wet and will stay on your feet. We recommend sneakers or sandals that strap on. Flip flops are not the best. If you lose one in a rapid, there is no guarantee we will find it and it will make it more difficult to find a solid footing in the slippery boat. We rent wetsuit booties for those who don’t have appropriate footwear. Please be advised, these do not offer very much ankle support and the footbed is fairly thing. If you have sensitive feet, we recommend something that you own with thicker sole
A detailed list of what to wear and what to bring will arrive in your confirmation email along with next steps for how to sign your waiver and tell us about dietary restrictions.
Bring:
- Reusable water bottles
- Sunscreen
- Change of clothes
- Dress in layers — opt for quick-drying clothing, synthetic insulating layers
- Secure footwear that can get wet

Wyoming River Trips guides are professionals, and your safety is their highest priority. However, no outdoor activity is without some inherent risk. You must acknowledge and, in substantial measure, accept that risk. All adult participants, and parents or guardians of minor participants under the age of 18, must sign an Acknowledgment of Risk form required by our insurance company. Please allow sufficient time for this, and check-in at our office when you arrive.
Please be sure to let us know about physical or mental limitations we need to accommodate prior to arrival and about any medication you might need to have with you on the boat (eg. inhalers, EpiPens, etc).

The classic Wyoming river adventure done right since 1978
The Red Rock Canyon of the Shoshone is the original rafting adventure of the Cody area. A short 5-minute drive from our office finds you at our private launch site, just downriver from the Historic DeMaris Hot Springs. This short rafting adventure feels remote but ends just a short drive through downtown Cody back to our office and meeting location. This trip provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and is a perfect family whitewater trip or those simply looking for a short rafting trip so they can schedule other events earlier or later in the day.
Arrive 20 minutes prior to launch time (reservation time)
Expect 10 minute equipment prep with other guets at our office
5 minute bus ride to our exclusive put-in
Unload boats and guests, 15 minute safety speech
Head down river! On water time 45-1 hour depending on flows

Wyoming River Trips has been guiding this short rafting trip in the Red Rock Canyon of the Shoshone since 1978, making WRT Cody’s oldest established river outfitter. We are the ONLY outfitter with exclusive access to the Red Canyon (also sometimes called the Red Canyon) via our private put-in, 5 minutes drive from our office. While the entire river corridor offers beautiful scenery, the 1 hour river trip through the Red Rock Canyon is unlike anything else in the area, and should not be missed.
