Full Day Rafting - Close to Town!
$120
Full Day Trip | Main Fork of The Shoshone | July- Aug
Exclusive to Wyoming River Trips: Wyoming River Trips has an excusive private access located at the start of the Red Rock Canyon in Cody Wyoming.
Lunch: Lunch and snacks are included on all full-day trips! (be sure to tell us your groups dietary restrictions after booking)
Requirements and Restrictions:
Second week of July – August: Ages 10+ (exceptions made at lower water level and for youths excited to participate in hiking). We ask all guests with children to consider other guests on the trip and make sure their kids are excited about an extended day on the river, hiking, and sight seeing.
Youth 65 lbs+ Adults not exceed a chest size of more than 54 inches. If you anticipate some in your group won’t be hiking, please let us know.
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

Downtown Full Day Rafting in Cody Wyoming
Your full day rafting adventure begins just five minutes from our office in Cody Wy. This stretch of river will transport you back in time where it is not hard to imagine the Cody Country of 100 years ago. With each bend of the river you’ll feel further and further from town as you enter the rugged Red Rock canyon. You may eagles, deer, beaver, otter, or other migrating birds. Occasionally we see otters! We will spend some time learning about the geology of the Red Rock Canyon with the potential to explore a small section.
As we move further down river their is an opportunity for a short interpretive hike, snack break and a stop at a swimming hole!
Lunch will happen between 11:30am and 12:30pm on the river. The final portion of our trip offers fun Class II rapids, one Class III wave (a whole boat soaker that you won’t forget!) and plenty of opportunities for floating along side the boat as you head to the takeout.
