Quick Details
Your adventure begins just five miles east of Yellowstone National Park in the Shoshone National Forest. This stretch of river will transport you back in time where it is not hard to imagine the Cody Country of 100 years ago. Each bend in the river brings new breathtaking views. You may see bighorn sheep on cliffs, moose grazing along the river’s edge, a grizzly forging a hillside above the river, or eagles and osprey soaring in the Wyoming sky. You will feel the thrill of anticipation as you round the bends in the river above Morman Creek Rapid, Gunbarrel and others and then descend down the shoots of churning whitewater. This natural flow river is truly unique and it’s fluctuating flows mean no two experiences are the same. Because this river is fed from melting snowpack, it has a shorter season than most. Don’t miss it! A great option for wedding parties, corporate events, and special occasions. Give us a call to plan something special!
Wyoming River Trips is the only commercial rafting operation permitted on the Shoshone National Forest.
Because of colder water temps, faster-moving water, and a more remote river setting, we have set the age restriction at 10 years + (depending on water levels). All passengers should be in good health and have the ability to move dynamically in a water environment. Passengers should feel comfortable paddling. If you have concerns over whether or not you meet these criteria, please give us a call to discuss trip options.
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).
Notice of cancellation must happen at least 2 days before the trip date to be considered for a refund. Refunds are not guaranteed. Reservations made less than 2 days in advance are not eligible for refunds. Refund assessment for cancellations made outside of 2 days will be based on whether or not WRT can fill the newly vacated spaces. Full or partial cancellations made inside of 2 days are not eligible for a refund. Peak season reservations (June 15 -August 15) that are deemed eligible by WRT for a refund, will be refunded in the month of the reservation and not prior. (i.e. a reservation made for July, canceled in May, will not be refunded until July).
